My boyfriend and I are in the process of modding our cars. His car is a liquid red G8, and he has a lot of black and chrome accents. My car is the gtp convertible, and i'm not sure hat to use as accents on the interior/exterior. I was leaning towards red and chrome, but he likes the purple/chrome. I have also heard mention of yellows and even blue. I'm a chick, but i'm not into pink so that deff wont work. My car is black on black. and completely stock as of right now. so any accents would probably b both interior/exterior/engine.

any ideas or suggestions? it would be greatly appreciated.

(i cant upload any pics, all of mine exceed the mb allowed by the forum)

Upload the pix to photobucket then just paste the picture over here and it will show.

A black vert? I would recommend black recessed grills.....new wheels.....
Get what I have! lol

Then I would have someone airbrish flame up your interior. Have it painted black with red & purple flames. I wouldnt do much more cause black verts have to stay classy or
they will cross the line and people will laugh....if u know what I mean.

I've always liked chrome on black cars but then again the only appearance mods I ever done are windows, rims, tires and lowering. I think adding a touch of chrome would work.

thnx guys.

geewhiz, i plan on gettin some rims sometime this summer/ early fall. the stock ones are aight for now. but i do need tint! lol

lampoon, i have deff been drooling over ur car, it's amazing. i wanna do some of the same mods that u have. The trim pieces from ur car, are they painted or just stick-ons? and if they're painted were they difficult to get off? i have a ton more questions but i'll limit myself for now.

They are GM grills so your dealership parts counter, ebay, gmpartsdirect.com has them as well....any place that u can order GM parts from.

part numbers:
Grille upper recessed
Black 19158208
Blue/gold 19158209
bright chrome 17802610
primed 19158210
red 19158207

but verify before ordering....

I got the prime ones then had them painted.

Correct....There is no modifications on that intake. Nothing cut or drilled or anything like that. It bolts right up.
