Hey guys I decided to break up the sea of black and installed some vinyl graphics this morning . My wife and I installed both sides in 1.5 hours . We took our time as I haven't done this in about 15 years .
I am thinking I may paint the mirrors red along with the brake calipers . To tie it all together . I am definitely doing the calipers just not sure about the mirrors . Thoughts ?

I like it! The red sort of shoots up and back to the tail lights.
If you did the mirror caps them it seems you would need one more thing red as well, like red in the center caps to keep it all balanced.
Maybe just a red strip on the mirror cap? Have any scraps of vinyl left over that you can temporarily place on the mirror cap for inspiration?

Thanks . And I am glad you picked up on my vision of it flowing up to the red tail lights
. I do have two short strips of red left over , I may play around with them on the mirrors .

You and the wife did a great job.
I agree with J-Dub - A little extra red would really go well...
Even the rear wing, a small strip of red along the top, or a small little bit on the side of the wing.
Reminds me of this ....

71eh thanks for the kind words . The car in your pic is beautiful but a little too over the top for me . I am trying to stay somewhat subtle . But your point is valid that mine probably needs a little bit more red . The wheels on the car now are not the permanent wheels . I have a set of BBS Classic two piece wheels that I am going to refinish . I may have the centers painted black . If I go with black centers then red center caps would be a nice tie in . We shall see .

Oh I agree. Red center caps would be a nice subtle touch for sure.
