Need help brain storming

[Rowdy_Sonic_RS]

Hey guys. I'm generally really good at designing my builds and building a car that 90% of everyone would love. Similar too sonicX13's Sonic. I have a 2015 Black Sonic RS 5 door. Completely stock. I have a front splitter I'm ordering and should have in a couple months based on the rate of time it's taking. It'll be body color and follow the lines on the front bumper. I have no other plans other than possibly painting the back door handles, side of the door and mirror moldings body color. The biggest thing I'm running into is my car is Granite Black Metallic. I like the chrome accents but I've been trying to imagine tasteful color contrast to make it pop. I really like my factor wheels and am going to put 20mm wheel spacers on it and mud flaps. My car has a RS lowering kit and I love the ride height because I do plan to put 20 inch wheels on it at some point. I'm looking for inexpensive ideas. I will do performance upgrades when my warranty expires. I have a build for it already as far as that. Any help with brain storming is appreciated.

I started with vinyl because it was cheap and easy to remove if I didn't like it. Lots of color options (gloss black would probably be a nice accent on your color).

....if it has tits or tires it can be upgraded

You could put some Lamin-X film on the lights.

And you could always throw some Metalcast over your chrome bits and headlight/taillight rings to give them an anodized look.

Also, DRL fog light inserts.

How do you do a metal cast? I think I have the exterior just about designed. I need to sketch it up and start building.

Duplicolor Metalcast. It's an aerosol paint that you can put over chrome, and the metal underneath acts as the base coat.

So essentially you want to do many light coats over any shiny chrome bits you want colored or tinted. You can also use their optional silver ground coat to get a more brushed look.

But it is paint, and not plasti-dip. You can't just peel this stuff off.

But the results can be stunning.

If you dont want to do vinyl on the pillars and want them body color just use a heat gun and pull them off.
