I'm looking to put a body kit on my SSM TL-S. However, I would like to try something somewhat radical. Instead of the matching silver bodykit, I was thinking of getting the anthracite colored kit or maybe even the black. I want something that contrasts the dominant silver color but at the same time compliments it. Don't know if that can be done with the available colors but I would love some input for anyone!!! Basically I trying to go for the look that the Monte Carlo SS has.

Interesting question.

I tried this different color "effect" recently cause I got a heather mist body kit for my Naples Gold car. The colors are really similar, but different enough to notice under the right lighting conditions.

With just the side skirts on, the different color added a nice dimension to the car and would've looked great. However, note how the back of the rear skirt just attaches onto the bumper. There is no clear dividing line in the bumper molding, and a color contrast in this location would be ugly, IMHO. So I ended up just getting the whole thing painted and matched to my Naples Gold car.

So my suggestion is that it would not look good if you had a different color body kit from your car. Just my advice.

Don't do it.....I don't think that's the contrast you're looking for. It's just not gonna look right.

IMO, of course.

I don't think it will look right especially if you have SSM. I've seen a monte carlo ss black with silver body kit. It actually looks pretty cool, but that's black. I don't think SSM would look good with a different color body kit.

I remember one time a member wanted to put a blue body kit on his SSM TLS. Someone had photoshoped the pic for him and it just didn't look right. Maybe you should try that out first.
