Thoughts on tape color
Hey guys,
So I have a Laguna blue Z06 with black wheels. I want to put some color on the wheel edge to break up some of the black.
I’m torn between matching the body color or matching the dark gray caliper colors. What do you guys think?
This was off their website (tapeworks). Everything is 40% off so I figured what the heck.
Sorry I posted in Tech/performance. Mods could you move to C7 general discussion please.

I like body color for this type of accent.

Agreed, body color is the way to go. It is a great way to break up the continuous black of tires and wheels.

Yeah, if you insist on going to the trouble, at least make it worthwhile with something that shows up. For me, body-color would be the least garish.

hahaha. Ok. Seems like we have a consensus. If I don’t like it, the expense for the tape was minimal.
