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?

honestly I would stay all black or black with a polished lip...the blue is too bright....perhaps a darker red?

I agree.....black and polished wheel or black and red look great on this car.....

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.

"Black and Blue Bruiser" look would be unique. Isn't that similar to most State Highway Patrol Rides??? Or is that Blue and Gray??
Anyway, it sounds as though your thinking this thru and carrying this color theme though out the car.
I say go with it.

I say go for it! I think it would look bad ass and everyone does all black or black with red so I like that your going a different rout. Oh and I say blue fogs and leave the headlights.

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!

Black n blue, good color combination if ya can get it right. I tried it on my old stang but it didnt come out quite right. It takes some patients ta get it smooth, deff. not 2 colors you can just "throw" together. Good luck

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.

NAY...unless you plan on doing some blue vinyls to accent your car. Go all black if you don't....very sexy!

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.
