Anthracite is my personal favorite against that blue. I did a google images search and there are several examples. Also, a couple of gloss black striped Windveil blue cars. I have seen white, but makes the car less "tough".

As for caliper paint...

I was thinking of adding stripes to my 2005 windveil blue V6 but no colour really matches nicely. Silver looks perfect on legend lime but not on WB. So I left it without stripes.

What about matte black? It will be a nice contrast to metallic light blue.

I went with black on mine. Black hood stripes, brake caliper paint & rear spoiler. Also, can't see it but I painted the mufflers black too. Sorry for the not so great photos. After these photos were taken I also tinted the rear quarter windows dark black.

I think flat black looks the best. I have a silver stripe on the hood and it is okay. White as an accent is just too ugly on WVB.

The louvers are from Silver Horse Racing. Yes you have to take out the glass. Not to expensive or to hard. http://silverhorseracing.com/cart.ph...ategory_id=255

I know who makes em all but I was told by several people you have to take the plastics out that wrap around the window on the inside... Taking the window out seems scary... I'd proly chip the paint.. I'll proly take it to a glass shop

I did them myself. Yes they were hard to take out, and you have to be patient doing it. Put lots and lots of layers of tape around the window, so you wont scrape the paint away. I nicked the paint in a couple places doing them and just touched it up and smoothed it out. Almost as good as new. The only problem is that I got them prepainted from SHR and they do not match the car. They are a little too grey. I am planning on removing them somehow and replacing them with a second unpainted set I purchased and have a local painter paint match them to the car properly.

Yepper. I wasn't happy with the ones that are in and bought a second unpainted set when they were on sale awhile ago. Repainting the same ones again would be a little hard to get right, so this was a better decision.

Silversky, the cars above answer your big dilemma. GO BLACK!! They look awesome. Paint the calipers, new fuel door black and go with some kind of black stripe. I would go matte black. Great job on the cars guys!!!

Silversky, I have a black factory GT spoiler if you are interested, let me know!

Thank u for your input... However I really do not like black strips,fuel doors, or wings lol so that will not work.... I think it takes away from the body lines and color

Here is my hood so that you can see a silver stripe. I am replacing the hood this season with the Foose Stallion/CDC hood.
