Lime green?

I'm thinking about modding my CLS and I got a REALLY good price from a friend at a local body shop.

$480 for all four factory AMG rims painted flat black, lime green AMG on the rims, and flat black calipers with lime green AMG logo on them.

Lime is my favorite color but I'm afraid it will make my Benz look cheap... any input??

Gonna go out on a limb and say its probably not the best move. What does the rest of your car look like? Post pics so we can get a visual.

I have a lime green car, I got it painted for shows back in 1997. it attracts a lot of attention whenever I drive it. I've only put a couple thousand miles on it in 10 years but it still looks new!

As for your car, not sure it would work. I would probably stick with red or yellow for brakes.

Do it man, it's your car and if it puts a smile on your face make it so

I love Lime and Black so much that 2 years back re did our company logo and used those colors. Everyone has had nothing but good things to say about it.

Its something different and cool. When doing your rims flat black your calipers will stand out alot more with bright colors. I personally think Yellow calipers look the best on blacked out cars. Green will look great too, i would consider powder coating them orange with black amg writing as well. just a thought.

Before you do it take a closer look at the Lambo...no chrome anywhere...I like the look of a black car with a orange, green, yellow, etc calipers but lose the chrome...As everyone else is saying it's your car...Have fun with it
