    well, most guys either go with their favorite color.. or something neutral.. ( black, silver, white ect....)

    or like i did go with the same color, only dark or lighter then the cars color.. I.e - i have a dark forest green car, so i went with neon green accents.

    it all depends on what you think looks good..

    just remember kiss.. keep it simple stupid.. don't go with too many colors or it will look like a crayola box melted on top of your car.. unless your into that.. lol

    in my race cars i always went with 2 (one for the body panels, one for the cockpit) colors for the car, and 1 for the lettering.... on that note, you also want your lettering to stand out.. something noticible so when people see you go by they can read it right away.. a contrasting color works best.. black and white.. ect ect..

    just some food for thought

      On my Black Z, i did red, looks good.
      On my SOM T/A, did anodized orange, looks good.

      Red brakes seem to work on every color car also the same color seems to be cool as well. Its up to you.

      Just don't go pink or neon orange on the nbm car

              i did my calipers Gray and the mounting brackets black....and then did the centers of my rotors black as well...i didn't go red because i don't like making stock parts stand out...if i had some nice Baer brakes, red would be cool...but i dont....it's all personal preference...i like to keep things as simple and low key as possible...it's kinda hard with a red car though

                  paint

                  i am going with dark grey, maybe gunmetal for all my accents. i figure it would look good and no one really goes black and gunmetal. it will match my rims. i have gunmetal rims on my stratus, it looks good on silver so it should look good on black. if not i might go with silver. same color just different brightness. my dad went black and red, its bad enough are cars are exactly the same, might as well have something different.

                    id just do a shiny silver or grey for yours, it will look cleanest with your blue car, I think any other color besides maybe the same color as your car is gonna make it look tacky and cheap. With that said mine are red, but so is my car..
