I think if its your car you should do whatever you want with it.


I dont think i would do it on one of mine, but thats just me.

I think it might look better if you did the rockers and bumpers in the same color, maybe side stripes as well, all the bits they color on the LE cars.

I was also thinking it could work if you just had a side stripe in the same color. Bold yet understated. LOL

I thought it was an interesting color combo, I like it a bit more than I thought I would. I think with or without matching graphics could work for the right owner. I can't say I'd run it myself, but I can never make up my mind on paint colors.

I am thinking more of a Marathon Blue as it is not as bold.

You're right, much smoother.


Just real quick renders, didn't have time to swap in the right wheels but hopefully it helps.

You can change the color of the wheels and leave the body color. It took me a few minutes to figure it out.

the images I posted aren't from that visualizer. I do 3D modeling and rendering and popped those out just to see. Eventually, my configurator (link in my sig) will have a GT flared option, but the beta running now is only a narrow body.
