IMO, would look much cleaner red. Now, it just looks like you were too lazy to paint it. A cheaper alternative might be a dry carbon fiber vinyl wrap. I know that's "cheating" in some circles, but that matte CF look might provide a really nice contrast against the shiny bright red, and it wouldn't as look "mis-matched" as it does now.

I would do this..
- Get a black sharkfin to keep the black/red theme.
- Vinyl wrap the TOP exposed part of the carsmo, but leave anything facing backwards black. The carsmo is much too 'thick' of a spoiler for all the black accents overtaking the original red paint.

I voted black, but like others have said, I think it needs more black on the car to go with it. Black shark fin, wheels, I don't know about wrapping the roof, but maybe that as well. Maybe something like that black stripe the yellow sema car had down the middle of the car instead?

I think this was temporary just to see the black on red. The man seven painted his badges cuz he didn't like the plastidipped look in the end. Vinyl would be a good cheap alternative considering more black need to be added.

I know I said do the sharkfin black but wrapping the spoiler, roof, and center of the bumper would look sick

Black but like everyone's been saying you'll need more black to accent it. Rims, Sharkfin, wheels, and roof. It'll look super good.

Yes this is temporary. I haven't even mounted it on my car yet. Just plasti-dipped it just to see how it would look like. I'm gonna bring it to a shop to get it painted once i decide if i want it black or red. Right now leaning on black and as others have suggested I'll probably do a black vinyl roof and antenna plus the bottom portion of the front bumper between the fangs.

Stick with your plan, go for black and add the black accents you mentioned, it'll look badass!
