Car theme
I dont know if this is the right spot, but I'm trying to think of some themes to go with on my gunmetal gta. Something to add little details to it.
Something like a batmobile theme and have some batman symbols somewhere. Thats a possibility so far.
Any ideas?

Try a "gunmetal" theme, and make complimenting pieces of the car body color. 
I dislike "themes" I like subtle things.

Adding stickers isn't much of a theme, especially batmobile ones when its not even remotely like a batmobile. Lets me guess, 16 year old and its your first car?

gunmetal ZR1's, carbon fiber ground effects ( just to be different yet kinda cool looking with that color), dark black/grey leather interior. tint the windows....maybe get a new hood i dont know just some ideas, but do NOT do a batmobile theme b/c that would be the gayest thing ive ever heard of, let alone a disgrace to the whole 3rd gen community...

Just try to incorporate you exterior color into your interior. Right now I am in the middle of an interior overhaul. Since my car is red, with silver bird symbols, I got red and black leather seats, red leather shift boot, and painted a lot of my interior silver. It's going to come out nice I think.
Don't do batmobile or weird themes like that. People will make fun of you, especially if your in highschool. Just warning you, because i've seen it happen.

Im not talking about stickers either, im talking about stuff like molding it in to door panels. But its not like im gonna paint the emblem on the car, its going to be subtle and i wouldnt go around thinking its the batmobile or painting the superman sign on the hood.
This sounds bad but i was inspired by a mustang. It was a roush racing edition "money to burn" mustang. He had it on the tags and lit up in the door panels. It looked really good, i'll show pics when I get home so you know what I'm talking about.

And yes the batman theme is out. I like the carbon fiber look gfx but I drive a T/A. And yea, no removalable gfx.
I already have the black and grey theme on my interior since thats the colors it came with.

Sorry for my "ignorance" trying to stop you from doing something that people will laugh at you for. Also, if you used carbon fiber tastefully then it won't look out of place either.

what do you mean no removable ground fx? on the T/A all ground effects are removable with the exceptions of the front and rear bumpers. These would be some general ideas to shoot for...
Pro-Street
Pro-Touring
G-Machine
Cruiser (sound systems, etc)
Stickers and decals can compliment such themes, but....they shouldn't be just "put a sticker here, put a sticker there, put a sticker everywhere" You could even go for modern theme, or road race course theme....Don't know if that helps you at all or not.

Nothing wrong with liking Batman and referring to your Black or Gunmetal grey car as the Batmobile. In fact, these things are much faster than the Batmobiles ever were. Hell, the Burton Batmobile could only get up to 75-90mph before it shook and felt like it would fly apart. The 60's Batmobile weighed close to 6,000 lbs. Sure it had a big block Ford, but that thing was a sled, especially with the pizza cutter tires it had.
Now back to the themes, I'm not so creative with themes. Do you want like words and logos or just a theme of colors? Like mine is a black T/A, so naturally everything I get will be dark colored or black.

ya know what's funny, when i was a lil kid riding around in my firebird (when my dad owned it still) i used to refer to it as the batmobile.....had a lot of fun as a four year old doing that one...lol...then he'd say something like "Let's hit turbo jets robin"...lol.

If you want some ideas, look up RedRaif's car. Not many people like it, but it's well put together (it was on Rides) and she definitely has a theme going.
