Asphalt w/ red badges?
 
Trying to decide what color to paint my badges on my asphalt.

I really want to accent red, and was thinking about painting badges red, and/or red carbon vinyl mohawk.

Planning on getting black Konig Backbone 18's with the red center cap.
Gonna paint brake calipers red. And paint inside of headlight black with red halo kit.

if i could use photoshop id see for myself.

Thoughts?

I have an asphalt myself and it's a very touchy and refined color in itself. Adding too much red accent might take away from it.

You could always try plasti-dipping and/or vinyl. That way, if you don't like something it can be removed.

It is your car and everyone has different tastes... Something you like may not be the case for another, and vice versa. Post pics if you end up doing it.

Love asphalt because it looks so good stock. Hate asphalt because it doesn't respond well to cosmetic mods <_<

Before I rebadged to Toyota I tried red badges on my Asphalt. They looked awesome before they were on the car, but after seeing them on the car I took them off and blacked them out. The red just didn't work for me. The black didn't either for that matter so I rebadged a few days later.

Cool cool, yeah I felt like it might not sit right with me either I think I'm gonna go with black badges and maybe do th lettering red.

How did you go about debadging and rebadging?

I bought my emblems from @FT speedfactory and the gt86 emblem from @nigel-jdmparts.

I have a guide linked in my signature that tells you pretty much all you need to know. I have done everything in the guide and a few more things too. If you need a little more help let me know though.
