New car and I want to repaint it

[Stiff_Cookie]

So I got a new car and love it but I feel that there is too much black. Any suggestions to add a little style to it? I was thinking ghost flames and I found some I like but want to look at other ideas. I want to keep the overall black appearance though so the new paint job won't be anything too drastic.

This is my car:

a sunstrip, shopping list and ironing board spoiler?

I didn't realise they did 2dr these (its a grand prix?) I had the choice of one of these or an Impala when i hired a car this week. I took the impala as i thought it would be more comfy (both were v6s).

Please don't. Car looks as good as it ever will imho. At least leave it a few months to grow on you.

If you think there is too much black then change the colour of the Alloys first by getting them redone to a lighter silver or polished up completely rather than just on the rim. I reckon that looks quite badass currently and doesnt need anything changed. Especially no stupid flames! Possibly some Silver Wing mirror covers ala Audi RS series to lighten it up a bit.

One car has 4 doors and the other has two. Confused Bryan is confused.

Get the alloys done to a similar colour of the front lower spoiler, and tone down those side window tints (5-10% job)

 

[Bug One]

Silver alloys and remove the window tints.

If I lived in Texas I would definitely not be wanting to tone down those tints.

Why?

 

[Booner!]

I'm not digging the black wheels, but the car looks good.

 

[SoliD]

Why?

Because its boiling and the effect I notice when I'm in my car in the summer with my tints is more than you think, so in that heat I would take anything that stops the sun and harmful uv rays.

Contrasting wheels would be my first step before doing anything to the body.

Change the alloys to chrome and I actually think on this car racing strips would look pretty cool. Other than that I wouldn't change it.

 

[Lashout_UK]

Yea, seconded, different colour alloys and remove the tints. It'll stop it looking like a black hole!

 

[Ev0]

Again, change the alloys to a lighter colour and it'll make the world of difference

 

[Kitchster_uk]

Not chrome, but certainly lighter alloys - white or silver imho, lose the timts and a subtle spoiler at the rear as well. Nice motor btw.

 

[Clarkey]

Chrome wheels, wider in the rear and lower in the front.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. My dad, who owns the GTP in the background wants my rims so maybe I can sell them to him and get a new set. I'm gonna keep the tint though. I dont live in Texas anymore but I have a leather interior so I want to reduce sun damage as much as possible.

I think lairy wide white stripes peraonally, especially if you could change the wheels for something a little more, can't think of the word, more purposeful looking. The shape of the car lends itself to it. Oh, and lower it a bit as well, only needs about an inch I reckon
