what color billet for my tricolore??

So when the time comes...heh..
What colors should I go for when I start adding 'bling'? I guess it will be typical old red & black... I'm thinking the anodized gold color is not a 'dirty' enough gold color to coordinate right. but then again I doubt the red is going to really match either... Thinking mostly red bits & spots of black accents.
Anyone seen any nice dark green anodized clutch covers?

The only thing I've been adding to my white one is black parts. tones it down a bit and goes with anything. Unless you have some stuff custom colored I think you'll never match any of the several colors on the tri.

unless you are staying with one manufacturer there can be severe color differences between reds, and golds. also some black looks purple. Just keep it in mind once you start down a road.

Just get it powerder coated. That way it'll be consistent, and it will hold up better to the sun. Most of the black anodized stuff I have gotten has tinged purple over the the last two years. The red had turned pinkish.
The items I have powdercoated are still the red and black they were the day I got them back from PC.

I think I will also go with black, & consider doing a powdercoat run as Munch suggested, sometime down the road if stuff starts fading. That's a good point 55Spy made about different mfgrs parts having different shades. I'd think black would be most likely to match up.

Hey mate, I had the same concern. I have decided to use carbon where I can to ge with the rest and where carbon is not suitable it is Silver/Titaniun or Black. I dont want to destract from the colour scheme. Have used red clutch spring caps but against the Ti plate you barely notice them.

My 2 cents, Carbon and/or Black. An off-colored red or gold would really stand out, and not in a good way!
