Depends.....post a pic of your car from the side, with photoshop you can see what it will look like...I did a quick photoshop in blue, yellow and red....I was leaning toward blue...in theory because it would be unique...but once I saw what the yellow looked like, it was an easy decision....In my opinion on a silver car, go with red.....

Newport I got crappy pics only man 
...wouldnt be able to P Shop it. I agree red looks hot but everybody has red with the c4s or turbos. Wanted to be a little different. Haha plus a friend of mine has a C4S Cab Artic Silver and when I get my Turbo Bumper on and Side Skirts I think Ive copied him enough haha. Ill post pics with whatever I decide to do. My belief cant go wrong with either hehe

What wheels do you have? That makes a difference....I think yellow looks hot with black wheels...the contrast between the yellow and black is sweet....so if you have silver wheels the yellow will not contrast as much....

I got Silver Wheels. The more Im thinking abot it red is the way too go. Hey like I said cant go wrong either way. Yea Newport yours looks hot with the Black wheels and the Black Car. Red with Silver will be the best bet.

I have black techarts on my 997 Seal Grey. Does anyone know who paints brake calipers in the Bay Area? I want to paint them yellow.
