Murdered out:

(Stole that pic from this thread: http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/threads/jsut-picked-up-a-1986-gt.854467/ )

Grey trim:

I thought I wanted to black out all the trim on my car, but now I'm on the fence. Thoughts?

Leave it. Whats the point of trim if it blends in?

I think on black cars, it begins to look too "busy". There's almost too much grey going on for what is supposed to be a black car.

I'm also considering possibly blacking out everything but the headlight buckets, belt molding, and the sail panel- leaving those a grey color.

So you can see why I struggle- all of these have body colored trim, and look great, IMO.

IDK man. You bring up a good point. But I like your car as it sits.

I should also point out that my car is all black and the first chance I get, I'm doing a color change. Deep crimson with the cowl part of the hood flat black. All trim body color.

***Edit - I just realized I completely contradicted my original point and switch my vote. Murder away.

Get me another towel.

Hard to say. Both look pretty good on your car Nik. I think the Centerlines on the car in the first pic are what's throwing me off. I'd have to see it with your Mach 1 wheels on it to really know for certain?

And that first silver one is what sex on wheels looks like IMO

Haha OK.

Again, agreed. That stance is perfect.

With that in mind, anyone up for some photochopping? It might be easiest to black out the trim on my car rather than splice my wheels onto the other car.

Murder it. It's already a black car, may as well make it a black car, BLACK I SAY!!!!

with a "c"... see what I did there?

Keep the trim grey

85_SS_302_Coupe · Mar 21, 2012

Don't do either man, do the trim and headlights in satin black...that way it's black, but they're still defined.

betke76 · Mar 21, 2012

I agree with 85 satin black sounds like a great idea

N8Dogg98 · Mar 21, 2012

+2 for satin black... don't listen to fiveohwblow either, that guy doesn't know chit

foxbodymike87 · Mar 21, 2012

+3 on satin black trim

fiveohwblow · Mar 21, 2012

You guys are hopeless.

Maybe he should airbrush Justin beiber on the top of the hood and kony2012 underneath too.

By looking at the bottom of this pic you need to mow...

95BlueStallion · Mar 21, 2012

I was going to black out my trim, until I saw this car. Being that I too will have the anthracite 10th ann. wheels, I fell in love with the grey trim... If you are keeping your wheels for the long term, then murder your car for sure. Its so clean looking with a shiney wheel.

Easy question for anyone.

To murder or not to murder?

Murdered out.

Stay with grey.
