Need some opinions before going in the booth

Aite guys, cars going in the shop to be painted. Painting the car oem color.

What do you guys think i should do with the door handles, chrome trim, mirror bases, roof, and diffuser.

Not sure if i want a 2 tone (like some black accents, or just all twilight blue). Suggestions will help!

I am going for an aggressive look. Please stay on topic lol


heres a pic so u guys can see.






Any other opinions would be great!!!! help me out!

I would paint the mirror bases for sure. I think that the door handles would look great painted too. I like the chrome trim, goes well with your polished lips, but if you are going for a more aggressive look then you may want to paint those too. I would leave the diffuser black, would look better than all TB IMO.

Where are you side moldings in that pic, did you photochop them out?? Are you filling in the holes and respraying your doors (that would look sick!!)?

I voted for option 1, minus the black spoiler. Leave it TB.

Black roof would be dope. If you black out the roof then I would go with black trim as well. So I guess I would go with Option 1.

And paint the roof spoiler black too.

If you are going to respray your doors too you should seriously consider a color change. You would be painting everything on the exterior except for your trunk and rear quarter panel. You should have R&J tell you the price difference to also spray your trunk, rear quarter panel, door jambs and engine bay.
