This month I'll be purchasing my first major mod...

Tein S-Tech's along with new shocks.

After this purchase + install, I am nowhere near the cahhsh mahhney
needed to buy a new set of shoes, so I'm deciding to go ahead and powder
coat my stock rims in the meantime. What I'm going for is pretty bold.

I've decided to go green with the powdercoat.

Why green?

It's because I only see tC's with your basic, gold, bronze, silver, black, etc etc.
I kind of want to stand out a little more. And plus, it's one of my favorite colours

I want to know what you all would think how green would look on a BSP.
Black goes with pretty much everything, so I just want to get everyones
personal opinion if they look nice, hideous, etc.

Thanks to BYeRhONe, he provided a picture of his BSP which has pretty much
the exact same OEM parts, but instead, I have the pedestal spoiler. He's also
on S-Tech's, so this is how my car will look...

And yes, I photoshop'ed the green onto his car.



As you can see, I'm not going for the green GREEN (tree's, etc) shade.
I want them a bit lighter and softer. It's not the exact green I was hoping,
but it's close to it. At least it will do for now for a visual aid.



***EDIT

Here is the kind of green I am going for. This is one of the Scion Driven Girls'
car, Gina, for those who are wondering.

On my car right now I have a few things that are green.

My parking lights are green which are good for meets.
Also, in the interior of the car, the middle light in the dome
is green and also the rear. I drive with them on when I go
to meets also.

Not to mention that the Tein S-Tech's are green too, haha.

After all my mods for the month are done (springs and a fujita f5 intake),
I'll be adding my club decal, the Tein decal, and the Fujita decal, which will
all be customized to be green, on my window's.

That's what I'm talkin about!! Maybe you want to match the Tein green then. I have tein hood dampers, tein decals, and green Randode lighting. Most of the car is yellow--but a little green for contrast--including my Tein damper doll who rides with me to meets and shows.

I tried to colour match the green on the Tein logo.

It turned out a bit funky looking cause the green on
the logo is too dark for rims. I'll post a picture up if you
want to see.

when you powdercoat them, i would go get black/dark grey lug nuts though. the chrome/silver stands out too much imo
