I have a GT with the Reef Blue metallic clearcoat and titanium two tone. I was thinking about changing the bottom to black but I would like some opinions on it first. I ghetto rigged a picture on photoshop of my idea to make it easier to imagine.

I still kind of like the idea, and I know original is usually the way to go. I just think it's kind of a cool idea. Thank you for your opinions, I'll be taking them into huge consideration before doing anything. I also think my photoshop skills are crappy enough to make even the best idea look terrible.



Another option is a satin bottom? View attachment 63789

If your wheels were not black also, it would help the look. Shop the wheels the blue color and it will help!

Yes, if they are a different color than the bottom color they will not blend in and since the only other color on the car is blue... Chrome or a combination thereof could be nice too, like a chrome outer ring and black or blue center portion.

No no on the black. Seen it, looks tacky. Keep it titanium.

Keep it grey. Black doesn't looks so hot.
