Painting the GT4 raiser blocks - 6G Celicas Forums

Hello! me again

Im having a hard time trying to figure out what colours to paint my GT4 raiser blocks without it looking unprofessional or tacky.

Here is how my car looks at the moment:

You cant see the raiser blocks very well, but there current colour is a off black / plasticy black, not nice at all.

Im getting the car booked into the body shop to have a bit of tidying up done, and im going to get this done too.

IMO any car with an exterior colour scheme of more than 3 colours looks unprofessional, my current colours are Black (car) Red (calipers) and Bronze (wheels) (excluding the lights and the side repeaters im sorting these out)

I cant choose between:

Bronze background / Black Text
Black Background / White Text ( i know white is a 4th colour, i might get white celica vinyl stickers for the calipers too)

Black Background / Red Text
Black Background / Bronze text

What would you have?

The color is has now is just how it comes from the Toyota dealer. Just paint it black without white inlay. I like that best.

JDM Powerplant installed, BPU coming very soon!

x2 that way the text will match the rims. i think it will look really nice.

Call me a traitor! See if I care. ;)
Paint the riser lettering to match the wheels ? Or do you have a Bronze set of wheels too ?
