Default differing colors

I have an LMB, but I am thinking about coloring the Rear Break light and the rear diffuser, along with the interior trim package: in white. To give a contrasting look.....any thoughts on this scenario. The purpose is to contrast, but not look overly different.

It'll look awful.
Someone had a silver C6 last year, and did all that stuff in C5 torch red.
Sounds like hell, but looked real nice.
You might do search on the forum to see it. It's the only one I've seen with contrasting colors.

I'd try it with a computer program first to see what it would look like.

Get some white tape, put it on, stand back and see what you have...my guess is that you probably won't like it. Good luck.

Might work if you also stripe the car in white. Like the Grand Sport. Otherwise what is the point of a white spoiler? Just would be stuck out there standing alone.

Doesn't sound very promising but if you want to risk it, go for it. Post the pics so we all can learn along the way.
