Navy blue T/A with gold GFX. Would it look good or am I nuts?

*** no

in my honest opinion i don't think gold goes with anything, it's just too tacky... i personally hate black/gold irocs...

only thing i don't mind gold is when it's on a red car like an iroc... it looked cool.

I think the only good looking gold on a car is the gold Firebird on trans ams.

I agree with what was said above, gold doesn't really go with anything except red or black.

i wouldnt do it, I think if you have a blue car gray, or silver would look best. Maybe black.

wow--someone kinda liked the idea.
If I paint I'll be going with the factory silver gfx w/navy blue---I just wonder if gold would look any good. I won't be the gunniea pig here :P

If I ever win the lotto--I am doing a gold IROC.
