Default need adivce

i have some parts on order.

cusco 4pt cage

F1spec Type 1 seat with BC rail.

now my car is berlina, lowered on the stock 16's(fell in love with the OEM 16's all over again ). my question is this:

is it going to look tackey if i have a blue cage, red seat and a black car with the silver OEM 16's? is the too many colors going on? should i just pick up a black seat instead of the red?

thanks for the help!

p.s

and yes i know that the cusco does nothing, it for looks. and yes im that vain.

That's a lot of colors. For a track-only car, it wouldn't matter, but if not, I'd paint it black.

yeah i'd paint or powder coat the cage gloss black. The seat will be a bright red, the cage will be a bright blue, and your car is a bright black.... too much IMO.

I would paint the cage Red or Black (red IMO would help the seat flow better (unless you have red interior).

The red on the seat is going to be pretty bright and the cage is almost electric blue those on a black car will def stand out.

I would get a black seat because I think the Cusco blue on a Berlina would look mean as hell.

Red seats only look good with GPW IMO. Get Black and be done with it.
