what look to go for with red

[bmwannabe]

i have a red car, what look do i go for. i thought about shadowlining the trim, but then i thought black might look bad. also, should i go for colored wheels, or stay neutral wiht metal colors like silver? im also wanting to modify the body from stock, since i have only an i. is there some kind of lip i can put on my existing dam, or do i need something else? if i did that, could i leave it black, or make it red. im at a loss, i dont know where to go.

I say go for this look...




This is Robby's car (boom-monkey). It looks hot.

There is my red one...I'm trying to go to the all red/black look. I'm happy with it so far, but I just need to do suspension and rims/tires this summer.

-Tint
-Shadowline
-IS Front Lip

NO! That's my plan 8) .

All red/black...... but with silver Euro baskets, just be sure to get different wheels. My car will look something like 318daily's ride.

Neil's car is what influenced what i want to do with mine the most...I loved when he had the BBS RK's on it. He had 17's, where i think i'd like to find me a set of 16". Real real hard to find, but we'll see what happens over summer.

I bought my car from a FHP, who told me red cars are the ones that catch their attention the most :) Good luck with that.

And trust me LikeCDoos, today I got my wheels in. No one has seen pictures because I dont bother having to read the 1 or 2 deadbeat replies to a stock car..... but we will all get there eventually.

what is FHP?

Know the feeling man...i can't wait to get my car dropped and on rims...then can work on the engine aspect of it all. What rims did you get? I want to see....

Wow, starting to have to many brilliantrot clones, except that i don't have a sunroof :D . May I should get that CF hood earlier than expected.

what is FHP?

Florida Highway Patrol, sorry :P

My old car...

[TheyCallMeDale]

my ideal new e30 would be a red 318is (factory shadowline) with e36 M3 Replicas, IE Stage 3 springs and a tint job.

[nando]

why would black trim look bad? I think it's much cleaner than chrome.

black/whatever color seems to look good on all E30s. I would love to have a body colored is lip but I don't think the paint would last more than 6 months, it hasn't even been a year and I need to repaint mine black because it's pitted.

also, I think those M3 replica wheels are nasty looking. (just IMHO)

You mean a red e30 with E36 M3 replicas like this! Fuddys:



Tint isn't a great idea on E30s. 35% is alright, but clear is good. I have a friend with 20% on his red 91, looks like ass.
