Ok guys as you may or may not know..i just got my new PGT and i was wondering what would be a good accent color..interior and exterior for my car...i think i was told it is laser red...its the darker red....anyway i was thinking silver, but would you think white would look good???

I personally think painting trim peices sucks and looks cheesy if not done in taste (not counting rebbys car ) his is extreme in and out.

as far as what to do to accent your car... post some pics to give us an idea of what you're starting with...

silver/chrome is usually a pretty good choice however it is very very hard to implement...

stock my car was white w/black interior... i was planning on painting the car yellow so i accented it w/yellow... now the car is yellow w/black racing stripes so it really looks tight (imho)...

w/a red car, i would do the interior accents in the same color red (assuming black interior)

like i have done
I actually went with a deep red like the gt srripe on the dash
accented the door carpet and mats and added carpet to the lower half of the console and soon to have two tone leather done to replace my standard grey leather

I took the map pockets off a marroned interior probe and I have also added carpet in this color to the lower half of my center console ( by the way the GT's have a factory maroon stripe along the dash too) so all this adds flavor and looks factory

only 93's have that stripe. all other years have different dash.(because of opt. pass srs) my car is laser red so that works out good.
