This is a beautiful car, no question. 
Maybe it's just my screen, but don't the red accents (wheel star and pinstripe) look like a lighter, "pinkish" shade of red vs. the calipers?

great project . im interested to know if the ecu upgrades have had any unwanted effects . namely reduced gearbox performance (change speed ) and limp mode being engaged after hard driving .
i tried a very tuned car from a reputable german firm and it was much more powerful but i am sure the gearchange was no way near as good as a standard black .
i have also had experience of my first black series going into limp mode after being modified .
very very interesting project .

But yes, it is a tad lighter but I think the photograph exaggerates the effects somewhat.

IMHO, black w/ red accents is menacing... while black w/ pink accents is... well, girly. But to each his/her own.
Besides, as long as the owner likes the end result, who cares what anyone else thinks?

LOL, I actually would've preferred the accents to be the same shade as the calipers - would tie the overall styling together more cohesively. I'd hazard a guess that the accents would probably look more "red" if it weren't for the "real red" calipers for contrast, drawing attention that the accents are more of a pinkish hue. As you mention, they look pretty close - you've seen it in person (I haven't) so it might be even more negligible than it appears here; not for me to say.

I think I met the owner of this car here in Vegas this morning. He mentioned he used to have an Evosport BS (he was driving an E63 this am) that has red striping on the wheels and that got me thinking about this old thread. He also told me that he has since sold this vehicle to someone in Japan.
