Looks clean bro, you should smoke the tails and either go black on the calipers, but Dark Blue is something different, it'll match your Grille though that's for sure. Definately get those side markers painted to match the body of the car.

The silver can go with either black or crome but in this case I like the crome better

Very clean ride!!! I think the blue calipers would be sweet. I did the calipers in black...



But I think going dark blue would set off the silver.
