Biggest thing I'd change though is that lisence plate as it's a big color clash, cultural trust would look way better in my opinion. Then again I'm a pretty poor esthetician.
With my new plates I chose the cause that I thought was the best instead of choosing the best looking plate. I figured that would be the 'right' thing to do.

Like some purpose built car.

Either way, envy your aero.
My aero came unpainted silver metal color so I don't think going with that would work.

I think if you want to get away from Red/Black, then Red/Silver or Red/White, done right looks pretty good.

Yea I understand the "I do what I want!" theory, and I applaud those with such courage and breaking the balls and chain of conformity, but that is if the "base" is cheap or bad to start out with.

A beautiful girl does not need to "express her own creativity" with crazy outfits, life styles etc. A black cocktail dress which some would say "played out" is probably enough to get a pretty girl laid or get attention over the 6 ~ 7's trying too hard, any day of the week.

My point is, a played out style can still yield you positive response in a broader audience VS a severely hit or miss philosophy. And our base car is stylish to start out with, just keep it clean and simple, and compliments will come. Its the ugly cars that need the Big ass wings/wide body/stance/funky colors etc to stand out. That was the whole point when modding started, making a family car look and sound like a race car.

Less is more, basic contrast is all you need, and these things aren't taught but just sort of "felt", a good sense or bad sense. Some people have em, some people don't.

I think you work with my brother. He just moved from Japan, and working in a IT department for a company. He says he saw a red FRS and the owner's name is Tommy..
My brother goes by Dai.
