Default Color / Theme for tC2

I wanted to have all of your opinion on a color or theme that I could use for my MGM.

I was looking around and colored lugs and brake calipers really made the MGM color stand out a bit.
Wheels? Interior?

Or what kind of style/theme should I base it on?

u should start with those colors.

now it depends...do u want the "accent color" to blend in or stand out?

blend in as in a dark on dark subtle look....or stand out as in a dark car with loud highlighter bright colors

I would like the accent color to blend in with the MGM paint.

Purple rims with gloss black calipers I think would look pretty good on MGM. Not a huge fan of purple but I think in that respect it would look really good of you had a dark shade. I think errols car had purple rims on it at one time, so you could see if it would be something to consider. Even though his is cement

ok so that narrows it down to color or no color

"no color"
black
grey

or

"color"
dark purple
dark green

its is more common to find aftermarket parts in black or grey...however that also means that a MGM+black or MGM+grey look can be pretty common/ordinary

obviously (with a good paint shop) you can get anything in any color u want...it will be more unique, but it will also cost more money

Getting purples rims would really made my ride stand out. Im not trying to go with that much bang but thank you for the suggestion.

I was also thinking about some shade of gold. Would that fall under No Color with black and grey? What do you guys think?

well the "color" "no color" things was more to group your favorite colors...not any official lingo or anything lol

but i guess what i was trying to say is color = something completely different than MGM so yes...gold/bronze would be "color" and is actually pretty common

all it is for color...is just go with what you like. since u like different colors, u just have to narrow it down to one so it doesnt look all crazy (unless thats what u want to do lol) make the car represent you...not what other "think is cool"

anyways...look for jayjayk89's build thread...its probably FAR back since he's one of the MIA OG's lol but he's the original black/gold tC2, and IMO still the best one
