Opinions on new color scheme?

Hey ya'll I have a Red 2015 Frs and going for something unique that stands out while keeping my paint..

Anywho my idea:

Currently car is OEM Red with matte black wheels, matte black emblems, and matte black Lip. Also a black and white windshield banner.

I recently acquired some White Fender Garnishes of another FRS. I was thinking of installing them on my car.

Idea is to have Red Body, White garnishes, white mud flaps, matte black wheels with white lug nuts, keep lip matte black to match wheels but add white pin stripe near front and install a black splitter with White rods, and matte black emblems all around..

I think the high contrast on the body of the bright white against red and black would stand out. I've seen Red Frs's with white wheels but nothing this drastic or two tone on the body...

Thoughts?

Going to look like absolute dog shit.

I’m trying to picture it in my head and I feel like gloss black instead of matte black would tie it all together better. Also, maybe continue the white fender garnish theme under the window with a white banner that a few cars have.

Since you don’t have any pictures of your current car, I’m gonna hope you’re lowered by at least by an inch, because a done up car like that would looks quite odd at stock height.

I feel like that will look incredibly bad.


Black / red goes together well. Adding in a bright white randomly throughout the vehicle.... no. Doesn't sound like it will work well.

i think the big "problem" is everything is still stock. painting stock pieces different colors can only do so much before it just looks like random shit for just the sake of doing random shit.

painted stock wheels? fine. painted emblems? fine. colored mud flaps? ehhh, whatever. but then you combine everything and it looks like a 5yr old drew the car.

Red car / White wheels can look good (a lil cartoonish, but still good).

Like so...




Red car / Random white bits everywhere will end up looking like you're driving a Lego car but in a BAD way.



Don't do this.

Matte black is overdone and looks cheap.

I would recommend against going with any white on your car. Keep it Red/blk. Red was pretty much my second choice / favorite color. Red/blk is se*y , especially with the FR-s /BRZ.

I'd recommend doing the following:

*get some new TRD RS2 wheels (or something nice in black, Volk CE28, etc) , and wrap them in some quality rubber.
*lower it tastefully, to how you like it , most people are fine with 1" to 1.5"

Keep it simple. Less is more.
