How does this look?
EDIT: Ok...it looks like it's unanimous...Red back is OUT....I thought black originally but I thought It would make your sight loose the bottom end of the car...however, the idea about the entire back being matte black - ala C5R might not be bad...I'm going to look it up right now. Thanks all.
I photoshopped the bottom part of the rear to red just to see how it would look.
Now, I know the quality of the job is crappy but keep in mind I did this in Microsoft Paint in like 5 minutes. What I'm looking for is critiques on the color contrast.
Is it too weird? Too Loud?, should I chose black?, etc.
I am thinking of doing it in red because it's my main color scheme:
Fuel Rail covers: RED
Airbridge: RED
Brake Calipers: RED
Interior : Mod/RED
So I figured this would go good.
What do you guys think?

Red with yellow does not go well together (IMO) unless you own stock in McDonald's.

Not much I can do about the red already on the car (and I actually looked for the color combo MY w/ Mod/Red) so I like that combo but I just don't want to overdo it (which is why I'm asking).

I remember seeing this red TA with yellow stripes at this place where everyone would take their fast carz. When he would drive down the "stretch" people would be yelling give me a big mac, etc, etc

Your car looks awesome but the red would take away more than it would add. Just my opinion.

I have to agree with the others, black, but not red.

I would choose black for that area. The red just seems like too much.
