Aesthetic question

Howdy!
I was wondering if i could get some feedback about what i may or may not do to my frs. I have a black one and i love the black red interior combo. I was going to red out the tailights, I already have my windows tinted, but i was wondering if it would look tacky if i powder coated my rims red to match the tailights and then even try to make my badges red to match as well. I think the black chrome combo is clean and classy but way not original. Let me know what you think!
cheers!
oh yea happy mother F*cking new year!

red tails on a black frs look sick. try photoshopping some mods you are considering before you do it.

as long as it's done right, it should look good. replace all chrome with the color that you are using, cuz otherwise it will look odd.

What he/she said. Besides tacky depends on your tastes, and if it suits your tastes then do it.

I also like multi-color themes on cars, just don't overdo it. Like 80% black, 20% red. Maybe don't powder coat the entire wheel red, just accent them with red. Like if you have the stock wheels, powder coat the silver spokes red, but the smaller spokes that are already black, I would leave them as-is, or vice-versa.
