Painting The "skyline" Bit On The Back/ Rims 4 Car

[IOWNU]

Hey guys n girls.

Well i'm not usually one for asking people questions about what to do to my own car, but this one has me a bit stumped. Recently I painted my R32 GTR purple with red pearl, the bit that says "SKYLINE" at the back has sort of blended in with the colour of the car.......I dunno, but I want to either get it to light up (read about doing it a while back on here) or paint it a colour to stand out.

What colour do you guys reckon would stand out on it? Some people have suggested yellow, light blue.

Also, while I've made this thread, might as well ask what sort of rims would go well with the colour. I bought 19inch rims for it, but to my dismay they didn't fit! I returned them to the person I bought them off, but am in the market for some more now, as the stock ones on this colour look terrible. I like 19s or 18s at the least. Then foglights are gonna go, i'll lower it, expose the FMIC and that would be all for looks.

Not sure on this one, any tips or ideas would be great!

Here are some crappy pics i took off my phone (car looks jacked of its ass coz the engine was out)

Thanks,

Ali.

Don't paint it... just get the GTR badge on the back.. nice and simple

I really can't see any colour except perhaps a metalic silver, even this is a long shot.. Go with my first idea..

IMO dont paint the skyline letters, looks nice and neat as is.

anyway it looks killer

did you paint it yourself?

[KamikazeR33]

id do it in a chrome/silver

[paulr33]

bronze rims with it in bronze also

Hmmm, might paint it chrome, silver or bronze with rims to match.

Didn't think of that, I reckon it would look awesome. At the moment i'm thinking chrome with chrome rims....

Probably won't leave it, dunno why lol.

Didn't paint it myself, got it done from a proper panelshop.

Also we've got all the badges, just haven't glued em back on yet...except for that diamond at the front, don't like it, so that stays off.

I've seen GTR badges on the front grill before...might do that. Or leave it.

Thanks for the responces guys.

if you really wanna paint it, maybe gold, goes well with purple

[mass_iv]

yeh i say bronze or gold, and i disagree with chrome rims, makes the car look like a show car!!!! in my view a GTR is a beast not a pony.... but thats my opinion.

Lots of people have told me that.

But I'm a fan of the bling.

LoL...if i can find some nice, non-chrome rims i'd be sure to get them though.

looks wicked in purple... like the skyline logo the way it is ..... some 18 or 19 inch white mags would look sick.
