I'm a black or silver man myself.

On the last few cars, I went with silver/aluminum paint.

You need to paint your grill. I never dropped it before because i used it so much for work and it saw alot of offroad. It will be dropped by spring. I promise. (plus a few other things)

What will you be dropping it with? Spirings or coilovers?

Having a painted caliper just draws attention to the fact that one does not have a bbk...

Springs. I dont care for coilovers much. They are alot of work to adjust and they dont last long in this weather and all this salt

Yellow on blue ...



I couldn't find gold ... otherwise I would have done that to match my center caps for the Volk rims. Yellow seemed like a nice alternative (at the time).

But with the green/gray color ... maybe something a little more subtle like black or silver.
