I got a '14 V6 a few weeks ago and can't afford much in the way of mods right now. She looks pretty plain right now, and I'm thinking about doing this to give it some color. I Photoshopped some red. Would like advice from you guys if you think it'd look good or not. I can get the wheels painted for ~$200 and the striping would be ~$25. That's about all I can afford right now.

 

I really like that look. The problem is you didn't factor in the price of those Laguna seca wheels

 

Yah those wheels are the only red ones I could find to photoshop into the pic. I should have added to the OP that the $200 quote is for having the stock wheels painted red.

 

I also like the red, but not sure it would look right with the stock wheels.

 

That's my concern too. I've seen some of these stock wheels painted black, and IMO they weren't that impressive...

 

if you are thinking of painting the whole wheel, don't.

My opinion is to save up for some 18s which will give you many more wheel choices. I think you will be throwing money away modding your current wheels because you will want new wheels down the road.

I would consider red decals to highlight the wheels. that way you can undo it if you don't like it and it's cheaper.

 

I didn't even think about wheel decals. Thanks for the heads up on that!

 

Yeah this probably won't work on the stock 17s. Save for some wheels. Stick with that theme though. It's looking good

 

I think the red accents on the rocker would look good.
