How much is too much?

I bought the red striping to put on my rims but found the red center-caps and ended up using them instead (which I like better). I was left with about 30ft of this red striping and got a little ambitious with it.

Since you asked, take the stripes off the front and back. That was too much.

If I could only pick one thing that has to go it would be the center caps.

Center caps look a little cheap to me.

but it looks clean.

The pictures look overly contrasty so I assume they probably look a bit better in person. Since you have the center caps it might be too much to add a strip to the side mirrors as those are accented on the Edition 1s. Might still look good though.

I really like the striping along the cross bar on the grill. I'm not as keen on the rear diffuser.

the rear valance looks wavy, which makes it look cheap.

the other stuff is a matter of preference, but please fix the rear.

You're good, though I probably lean towards Mike5215........looking for more places might be overkill.

In other words, all black with a little red always brings some POP to the overall picture, but less can be more as well.

Not to mention, except my smoked out headlamps and stock black wheels - but without the dual silver 5-spokes + silver wheel outline painted to make an all black wheel - my C450 is pretty much identical........to include the lowering (which this one seems to have been).

Translation? I would not mind if mine look like this, though I'm thinking gunmetal Vossen CV3Rs to give the look of the pic I've uploaded below (not mine; this one is still @ stock ride height).

And I'll bet - OU8one2 - if you go to Athens, GA, home other of Georgia Bulldogs, you'll see at least one that looks like yours.

Hunker down you hairy Dawg!! . Good work!

This is my car with some red accents.
I am thinking of changing to a c63 rear diffuser and exhaust and i've seen one on ebay with red stripe instead of the chrome..it looks good.

Last photo is from instagram..different color and a c63 coupe but i think it blends in very nice.
What do you think?
