hood blisters

I am thinking about painting my car black with red hood blisters. Does anyone have pictures of cars with different color hood blisters?

Unless you are going to paint another part of the car red, it's not going to look right. What I mean is throwing red blisters on a black car is a little extreme and is not going to flow correcty. We did it to my brothers 89. I gave him my blisters and they were painted black on his red car. Looked ok but just didn't flow well. After painting the spoiler black too, it looked good. I'll see if I can find a picture for ya.

Hope that helps in some way.

I hate two tone parts like that. GFX, ok, because they came that way on earlier Z's, but not things like mirrors, hood scoops/vents/blisters.

That just makes it look like you bought the parts of another car and stuck em on yers.

I'd have to agree that it won't be favorable looks wise. I've seen a bright car with black blisters that match the headlight pockets, but even that was bad. Black with red blisters... no good
