Red or white tire lettering? - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I'm in the same dilemma, and with a similar color scheme to your own (white car, but instead of blacking everything out it's in carbon fiber or grey). I say white tire lettering since that's what I'm eventually going to do as well. We're both pretty committed to cosmetic modifications, and the tire lettering really sets off the wheels, drawing eyes to them.

Personally, I have already invested a good bit into that area of my car (gray 1LE wheels with tan ZL1 Brakes, both powdercoated) so I don't mind a little bit more of eye candy there.

In other news, yours is the first car that I've seen with my proposed final look; carbon hood and roof. Surprisingly, you've convinced me to no longer do the roof, as it looks almost like a police car. Thanks for that!

OP, Beautiful car and great picture! I would vote on none. It looks awesome as it is, I feel that it would be distracting to have the letters colored. Though as most have said, it is your baby, do as you wish!

I dig it, and I think that having three colors in your overall scheme is ideal (mine are white, tan, and gray). It's up to you how much of your third color you want present.

My gray pretty much replaces everything that is black on your car, and my tan is what you have in red.

You definitely done some good work with your car as,well.. interested what Tan parts are you talking about that you've done?.. and as much as I like your aftermarket headlights which I had recently just got rid of..i think you would definitely like the stock RS headlights instead.
