    Well the title says it. I have pictures of my car in the member rides section. Just trying to figure out what to do to it in the future. lookin for more visual stuff than performance for right now.

    I would also like an opinion on my windshield banner. im thinking about taking it off; it just doesnt look right.

    What looks good on a white car? Black Paint.

    Everyone is going to have their own opinions on visuals, the best thing you can do is look around and see what looks good to YOU. It's noones car but your own.

    You could do like I did and try to eliminate all traces of color from the exterior of the car. I don't think there's anything left on the outside of mine that isn't grayscale. Meaning ditch the orange corners and get some clear or black tails. Definitely go with an overlay (black, white, silver or anything grayscale) for your arrowhead.

    But that's just me. Honestly though white is pretty neutral so you could even pull off some other color as an accenting color so long as it contrasts the white enough. Light on white = terrible.

    My car is white and I have been dreaming of getting and sd hood and painting the scoops black. Then getting some projectors to add more black and getting the SD air dam and having the lip painted black (kinda like the stock paint job).

    For the rear, I would get the limited edition spoiler with the three supports painted black and the raised areas on top black also. The bottom would be painted black with the Pontiac lettering in white reflective overlays.

    But thats just what I would do.

    My car is white. I took off all the badges and I plan on doing black inlays, 20% tint, and all black wheels.

    Surprisingly this is true. My car looked like a two-tone brown/white after I got home last Saturday from a party. For being dirty it looked really good, especially since the wheels were wet, clean, and shiny lol.

    What looks good on white cars


    a lack of dents. White is the cursed color.. you are lucky if it doesn't take a crap in your face or find a dent out of no where. I'm serious.. white's brutal. yes..I have one.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
