So I was thinking maybe this would look interesting. I have a Mica Black 2008.5 MS3. I was leaning to a total black out look or black with red. Now I am thinking of repainting the Calipers blue and going with a black and blue bruiser look. What do you all think, and of course the car will be lowered etc, with dark tint from eclipse and I am now thinking maybe the blue headlight and Fog tint with charcoal on the rear and side might look sorta wicked.
Anyone any good with photo shop? what sorta pics would you need to mock these up on a black MS3?
Opinion on blue rims please.

I agree.....black and polished wheel or black and red look great on this car.....
honestly I would stay all black or black with a polished lip...the blue is too bright....perhaps a darker red?[/b]

Fuck that. I say do it. I had the exact same idea. I even have blue caliper paint in my garage I never used. The only thing that stopped me is the red accents inside the car. Stitching and what not. It bothered me that the inside would have red accents and the outside would have blue. The only thing I would recommend is to make sure and color match the calipers to the lip on the wheels.

I think it may look ok. If the blue is too bright, maybe a deep purple would work. At least it would be something different! Shop it Geek!

When I had my Blue 3....i had it all blacked out....tail-lights...head-lights...blinkers...tint...looked nice....For some reason blue cars with black accessories look sweet..but black cars with blue accessories doesn't look the same.....except blue calipers look nice....I wanted to put similar wheels on my CX7...didn't look right..
I say go for it, no reason to follow the crowd.
Besides it is always more fun to do what you want to, rather than what everyone else tells you to do.

Our cars are an expression of our personality's. Who cares what other people think, as long as you like it. It might be the sickest thing we have ever seen. I don't think it would look bad and would really be a head turner.
