Black or Teal? Help us choose for our Ford Focus Wide Stance
What do you guys think? I like them both but the swinging more towards the teal. CF fenders yay or nay and what about that triple exit exhaust?
     Give me some comments to help improve our car!

Teal looks ridiculous, IMO. If it were my car, I'd likely go with black.

Not really digging the front grill, looks off. The teal does look off as well, i mean that shade of color with that shade of red...doesn't go at all. The tips are alright, look better if weren't burnt.
But i'm really picky so you don't have to listen to me. I do like the frontal shot of the tires sticking out, aerodynamically horrible but...  Bad ass.

I really like the teal, as a color. But the color scheme you went with, the black wheels definitely look better.

I would say black wheels with that color. You would really need the Candy blue to even consider teal wheels. Red wheels might be better than teal but somehow that sounds worse than black.
The fenders look tacked on as non-matching CF. My opinion is they should be matched to the body color. Unless it's a truck or SUV then it actually works. I would also recommend extending the fender all the way down to cover the front of the tires. There's no excuse for 60's aerodynamics on a modern car. Those will appear ugly or at least out of place to anyone with even a layman's understanding of aerodynamics. Smooth transitions, smooth transitions everywhere, smooth transitions.

I agree about the fender colors. The black is growing on me but I like the lip on the Work wheels.
