I have a gs3 platinum edition so its the silver/grey/platinum color. It's got black pin stripes (which I didn't always like but do now) and my wheels are chrome with black inserts (i'll post pics so you see what I mean). Do you think black side mirrors or like a black/silver combo would look good on the side mirrors?

I was also thinking of getting some chrome covers for the door handles and painting them black (cuz I cant find black covers and i'm not ready to buy actual new door handles yet). So it'd be a silverish car with black pin stripe, black side mirrors, black door handles (maybe) with chrome and black wheels. What do you think?

 

i dont think it would look good, keep the mirrors silver. if you want a black and silver theme do the roof, headlights, grille, tint, and black rims. Black door handles would also look cheapy.

 

I was worried about the cheapy look cuz that's what I think I've been thinking about the roof, I don't like tint and I like the all chrome grille I got so I'm kinda stuck and I don't know what you mean by headlights, like the black trim or?

 

Say no to black doorhandles.

I am partial to a black roof however :P




HKS LS+ and 19x10.5 SSR SP1's in black to be installed come springtime

 

Black roof looks like a pano roof on a Benz, nice.

 

I can only ask you if you think it will look good, because it's really a subjective question. If you like it then do it and not worry about what others think. You do you..

 

well for the headlights you could either paint the housings black (leaving the reflector bowls alone so you dont have to retro) or get the good ol ebay black housing projectors.

as for the grille, you could go gloss black to match the roof and tie in the headlights on the front end, or find some kind of transparent black paint and turn the all chrome grille into a black chrome grille, provided you make sure you do it right.

 

thanks for your tips guys I got some planning to do.

 

i did black mirrors on my silver civic before i did not like it felt like a down grade. i would say dont do it, the black roof in the other hand looks pretty good just get it wrapped so when you get bored of the look you can just rip it off

 

at the end of the day, the car gets parked in your garage, not ours.
