Default External Mod Question.

Would black BSM's look okay on a Torch Red or MY Coupe?

Keep in mind the windows will be tinted.

Ask someone if they can PHOTOCHOP it for ya.

IMO a black BSM on a TR car would look killer. Get the butt blacked out, get a black out kit for the tail lights.......

In fact, I have done just those mods........

Do a reb/black int, get some black polished motor sports and you are set.

Do you have BSM on now?? if soo go get some black duct tape and put it on the BSMs. Stand back 20 yards and . . . . .

Then take tape off and clean BSMs.

That's why I didn't get BSMs on mine. Why would you highlight those things? I think EnglandGreen has neon BSMs.

Considering the color-matched BSM's are unsightly, I can't imagine wanting to bring more attention to them with a contrasting color.
