ellis Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Subtlety is your friend when adding colour to a white car. I'd give yourself a small palette of colours to work with, such as white, black, grey and add it in small quantities. Red and white can look great as long as the red is introduced in very small detail doses. Just my ten penneth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my ten penneth! i like the idea definately, was thinking about a half carbon trd spoiler and not sure what else to the outside really, i have the red of the badges and the red stripe on the wheels so mayb i could leave it there for now with the exterior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellis Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Yep! I'd go with that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanfraser Posted March 16, 2010 Author Share Posted March 16, 2010 yeh i like that, with the little red detail next to it sorry for being so new to all this, just i love this car, dont want to ruin it and people on here all so good at what they do, helps to get views from other peoples eyes, trd spoiler a good option as the rest of the car is?

ellis Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 TRD rear spoiler is always a good choice and will sit very well with the kit you have on there, particularly with the carbon blade. Don't apologise for asking mate, we're not experts on style as it's so personal and subjective (my choice of new rear spoiler instead of the TRD I have on there at the moment is testament to that!). Facelift rear lights might be an option but I'd leave the rest as is mate. Interior - personally, not a fan of the red around the gearstick and on the handbrake but that's just me. I'd sooner it was all black with small touches of red, maybe TRD logo stitched into the seats in red, red lights behind the dials etc but nothing of any real size.

seanfraser Posted March 16, 2010 Author Share Posted March 16, 2010 yeh thanks for the tips, any ideas on where i can get seats re trimmed?? want black leather with red stitiching, what spoiler do you have on yours then? did you sell the trd one then i am looking out for the rear lightsm like the look of them thanks again for the help mate, makes me more reassured of asking anything on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Currently (up until Friday) got the TRD one one..... But am changing to a B+M Brune low level rear spoiler - it's a very personal change and works for me!! TRD one sold already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 (edited) Sorry but a TRD badge on a car with nothing TRD on it looks wrong, if its on a replica then fine but on a stock bodied car it looks daft, all in my opinion ofcourse. I'd get the seats retrimming in a nice lively red, that would look v nice, with the stitching in the same colour, a bit like this perhaps Edited March 16, 2010 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbourner Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I think Gibson and Boyne (are they still called that?) are quite expensive, but it was the name that did the rounds when I had a Supra, lots of people used them I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
