Color help.

So this may not help because one person will say this and one will say that, but i need help deciding on chrome or black for my car
its a white gt and i have black gt stripes on the hood and the black honeycomb trim along with black mustang lettering on the bumper, so i dont know if chrome will look good or just make it look too...busy as in black or chrome rims, black or chrome dressup parts.
opinions?

Garhfer · October 1st, 2007, 02:49 AM

for what? rims?

energiesource · October 1st, 2007, 02:52 AM

well the whole thing that sparked this idea was the antenna one of those shorty ones i can get it in chrome or black but i think chrome on something like that would just look wrong on a white with black car. as for rims, im not sure if chrome will look too awkward or not.

Garhfer · October 1st, 2007, 03:20 AM

I think black rims on a white car would look ugly, chrome rims would look pretty good though I think... as for an antenna... you can get them any color like white and all... get a white antenna lol! I think it'd look good!

energiesource · October 1st, 2007, 03:21 AM

lol well they come in black and chrome and it would cost more to paint it than the antenna did so fuck it lol
i like weems' car, it looks good with black rims

Go look on custom antenna sites they sell all types of antennas with different colors for about the same price, they'll give a few adapters to screw into the bottom of the antenna and it'll screw right onto your car... I got a black chrome antenna off EBay and that's how mine came fits good!

energiesource · October 1st, 2007, 03:33 AM

i already bought it haha, im sure it'll be fine, its a small little thing anyway. but rims arent.

neckbonekat · October 1st, 2007, 12:49 PM

With the antenna I would have gone black, but with the wheels chrome is universal. It makes any color look better as long as the car is clean. I don't think you can really go wrong with black either. I think you car might be an exception to the rule and you would probably look really good with black Bullitts.

OR black dd fr500s

04GTAMPA · October 1st, 2007, 01:33 PM

Black rims on white car is like a fly dead on a cup of milk!

I'm not sure about chrome on white either... However, if I had to choose between them both, I say chrome. Can't go wrong with chrome unless you over do it.

energiesource · October 1st, 2007, 01:42 PM

haha well i really have no other options, aside from chrome or black
anthracite does nothing for me. so yeah.

weems · October 1st, 2007, 01:44 PM

i just cut my antenna and painted it black...

energiesource · October 1st, 2007, 01:50 PM

lol oh well, its like $10

J Mac0123 · October 1st, 2007, 01:51 PM

I would say black, black and white together looks tight, jsut look at weems car. Super sexy !

energiesource · October 1st, 2007, 01:52 PM

i know haha i love his car
but something tells me that it wont be...'flashy' enough when i get the rims, and its not like i can just return them

J Mac0123 · October 1st, 2007, 01:58 PM

black chrome ? im kinda sketchy about black chrome though, from a distance it always looks like dirty chrome

energiesource · October 1st, 2007, 02:08 PM

yeah id rather it look more flat black than glossy black

04GTAMPA · October 1st, 2007, 02:11 PM

Weems have a different combination of stripes and black/w chrome/machined lips on those rims. Not to mention the hood. It won't look the same bro.

energiesource · October 1st, 2007, 02:13 PM

well the front of mine isnt too far off

plus if i did get black ones id make sure they have the chrome lip, and be dd

04GTAMPA · October 1st, 2007, 02:18 PM

You need a chin and some side stripes to make it look ok on black rims. Trust me, you don't want to pull attention in a bad way... You do have the rear blacked out, so it might work for you. Did you do the stripes or did it come with it?.
