help picking colors!!

[mazda3GX]

hey guys so i have a 2008 black mazda 3, and im not sure what to make my "secondary" color for really anything interior or exterior if color is needed, my mazda has the silver front grill, and i am getting chrome 24 spoke rims, so im thinking a silver pin stripe or something in the future, what do you guys think?, what would you if it was your car? thanks

Black and silver are good, especially if you're doing the chrome wheels. Don't want to get too many colours going.
I'm planning to do red on black myself (just emblems, caliper decals and RA flaps).

[mazda3GX]

ya iv seen enough mazda 3s with the red emblems and stuff, looks faat!,i obvs thought of red because of the stereo lighting and shit, but with the front grill being silver it jst wouldnt look right

[mazda3GX]

and for an 08 a new grill is like 200$ without paint, fuuuuuuck that

With a silver front grill, I would take that color and go with it. Not many black and silver colour schemes out there

i like the sound of that!

If you want my honest opinion, chrome is disgusting, period.
I'd say do a black and yellow theme, change the grill, aggressive yellow rims or black rims with yellow pin strip.
But its your car so u know the saying, "to each it's own."

I agree, and just so I dont sound like a hypocrite I dont like the chrome lip on my own wheels either haha. As he said as well, ultimately its your decision, your taste, and you see the car every day. If you like it go for it. But my opinion is leave the chrome to the classic car/restoration enthusiasts lol. Id say go crazy with wheel colour. Red blue or green on black look sick. I say red because I dont recall seeing that done before on a 3.

not chrome, but may as well be:


tell me that's not hot as hell. OP, I say you do something like that!!

[mazda3GX]

im gunna do a little photoshop editing and see what i come up with

[hgmahaha]

hey may a picture of your car would be nice. I want to see what you're talking about for the front grill

Personally I can not stand those

Green on black is pretty boss.
Red also.
I have a red on graphite mica scheme going myself.

Yeah I agree that chrome is ugly and kills the styling of a vehicle. Instead of chrome spoke rims, try going with a gun metal or carbon colour, that and the black would go good

[Pereira11]

those BBS are polished and are classic wheels, chrome 24 spoke rims sound ghetto dont do it

same with a pinstripe, no current vehicles look good with a pinstripe

[hgmahaha]

I like chrome accents. super shiny chrome wheels, not as much. I prefer the machined faced look.

But you should get what you like, its nice to be different!

[Fuyuzora]

@OP - Like others, I am personally not a fan of chrome (barf)... But it's not my car; it's yours. If YOU like the way something looks, go for it!

P-O-G-I's ride is proof that on rare occasions it can look good. (in his case, a gold pinstripe separating the black/CF sections from white)
