Working the plan....getting there
I received my CG non Z51 honey with chrome wheels and red caliper option in January. While I love the dominant grey color I love the offsett between the Red and Grey.My plan is to bring that subtle contrast between the 2 colors around the car so no matter what the view it is balanced. It is not done by any means.
That said, I like it and most people that I meet really like it so I wondered what the crowd on here thinks

To the OP, gorgeous car. Beautiful, but I think the red frame and the red vents on the back are too much. The CG with chrome rims and red calipers is bad A$$...no need to trick it out more...however, if it makes you smile, let it roll.

2 out of 2 on the frame and I tend to agree, one of the reasons why I tinted the back vertical markers (also red).
I will take it to Carbon Flash and set it back "into" the car,, Screens on the way for rear quarter panels as well as hood extractor. Toyed with taking them both to red but agin too much IMO so taking the accents "into" the car by doing screens.
Thanks for the input!!!

I agree about the Lisc plate frame should be thinner. . The rest of the look is bitching...I think it really is balanced, so many, in my opinion, have to many colors on their cars. Including two different reds etc.
