Argent colored gound effects?

I am currently saving up to have body work and paint done on my
car. I am thinking about painting the ground effects an argent
charcoal type of color, like that on the ROH ZS wheels. I would
paint the rest of the car a bright red (91-92 color). I was going
to possibly get those wheels in the future and was wondering
what you guys think of this paint scheme. Also, the black bump
strip is going to be removed.

Also, the exterior would kind of go with my interior.

I thought about going all red, but after looking at alot of 82-84
z28's I like the two tone. I think it has something to do with the
size of the ground effects. The 85 and later styles hang down
lower and stick out even if they are painted the same color as the
rest of the car. However, I feel that the 82-84 style is smaller and
almost gets lost when painted the same color as the rest of the
car. I definately want it to be two tone, but don't know if I want
them silver, light grey, charcoal, or black.

I say the color scheme is going to look good. I think the rims on your car now are awesome. But the ROH ZS wheels will look good too.
