What color Lug Nuts and Calipers

[Baddog]

I have been looking at ways to make the ride look a little better. I currently have 05 WRX rims painted black with mismatched lug nuts (why I want to have them replaced)

I have been looking for some darker green lug nuts and have yet to find some that are not too long (I don't want them to stick out a lot). I have found some that are 1.9 inches long but that seems like too much for the WRX rims.

I currently have been doing green exterior accents in a way. Green rally pig stickers. Green painted Hella horns.

I like these lug nuts but I feel they will really look off on the car. But I am curious of peoples opinions.

Also I was thinking about either leaving the calipers Stock, Black or Silver. Or maybe a green (too ricey IMO).

If this was your car what would you do?




Yes I know I need another Grille (will buy from a forum member)
JDM Projectors
GT Hood
And lowering springs

I would say use the same green as the rally pig stickers just so you can continue your green theme.

And to add to your list
Another fog light
Paint front bumper, which is a nice addition and it looks great
Window tint

I have both fog lights (hella 500's). The bottom picture is an old picture from when I first put the bumper on. But they are both in there now.

Window tint is on the list. And I am going to color match the front bumper to the car. And leave the lower section black (but repaint it)

Calipers go bright silver
Lugs go mint green.

I was thinking silver for the calipers.

For the lugs I kind of like this color here.



This is a local powder coating place that will do my lugs for $20 bucks. I need all new lug nuts as mine as mismatching so the cost was going to come out to if I were to buy already painted ones. But here it is. Any color suggestions from the pallete below?

Defiantly match the lugs to the horns and stickers

Im liking the green theme, definitely find some green lugs and then I vote black for calipers

[csweston]

Green lugs and black calipers or matched to the car color

I don't know where I would be able to get the paint that would hold the heat that the calipers put out.

I am going to go with green lug nuts. And I like the idea of black calipers.

I need to find someone who can photo shop real good. Anyone know someone? I want to have an idea of how it will look.
