Throwing these ideas around in my head:
Keep in mind that my "PPG sponsored" Body shop will do allot better job than my "MS Paint job" on the pics. gloss, clearcoat, the works. Calipers will change to another color too.
Wheels: Exact color and gloss as the rest of the car, spokes and the 1.5 inch strip that they go to, would get paint. Inside and outside of rim would stay silver. Will install the black center cap pony's (thanks Kevin).
Door Speakers: The outer black rings would get painted to either match the car or interior color (still debating which one to match to).
Your thoughts?

If you do, do the rims. Do it in a real dark red instead of the Redfire on the body. It'll give it some contrast.
But this kind of treatment looks best on black and white cars and not much else.

Nope to wheels. If you want a suggestion, black on the wheels would look much better than red. I have seen red wheels on a black Mustang and still did not like it.
As far as speakers, if the interior red can be matched OK. If not maybe someone will make chrome trim rings.

I have seen a red Mustang with black Bullitts and it looked awesome. I would consider that rather than red. The red is too much.
I think red paint would be tacky on the speaker grills too. If you want to spice up the interior with some red goodies, there's a leather shop that makes a boot for the emergency brake arm, a shift boot (auto or manual) and a cover that slips over the console door. You can get them made up in red leather, or something else that looks cool with ICAP is to do them in black leather with red stitching. Let me know if you want the link and I'll dig it up.
