Accent Color

10-05-2005, 04:50 PM

I've been trying to decide which accent color to use on the appearance mods of my car. Which accent color do you think would look best with my car? All input is greatly appreciated!

if that is your car in your sig, go black all the way. Keep it clean.

im using red with my silvermist

i think chrome, brushed aluminum, or blue all go well(that's what i'm using)

I think that blue would be awesome.

pink wouldn't fit. but all the others would look good as long as you did it right.

Hmm...it seems as though red and blue are the most popular. I did red with my last car, so I'm not too thrilled about doing it on this one. And the color blue that I want as an accent, they don't make anytihing in a color even close to that shade
:-\. Oh well, we'll see what happens.

hot pink or neon green would be sweet...LOL! I would say red or blue..

stay away from orange, yellow, pink. Purple could look good...but it would have to be a darker shade. Basically, darker colors on the right pieces....

not being an ass, but was there such a model as a gl3?, i thought it went gl2 then to gls, and i thought the technical term for the color is sterling silver, at least thats what it says for mine

Oh what...because I'm a girl I don't know anything about cars?! :shout: LOL jk

Actually, the GL models went all the way up to GL4. And Silver Mist is a different color than Sterling. If you look at the pic of your car next to mine, you'll see the difference.

Believe me, I know this stuff...I've had Oldsmobile info hammered into my head for the past 3 years by my boyfriend. LOL

Edit: I forgot to mention that the anything past GL2 was only availible in 99. Also, Silver Mist was only availible in '99-'00 and then was replaced by Sterling in '01. Maybe that's why you were confused....er whatever...lol

^ yup. it's ahard to tell online, but one is noticeably lighter than the other...I just forget which is which. to me, they're both just silver.

Sterling is the lighter one. Silver Mist is darker and has a very slight blueish-purpleish tint to it.

Just to verify what I said about the '99 GL models

mines the silver mist too, if you look at it a certain way in the sun it almost turns to a gold in some spots. i haven't seen anyone else with blue quite the way i have it. What colour blue were you thinking of?

And the winner is......

BLUE!!

Thanks to all who gave their opinions.

I was originally going to go with purple until my boyfriend begged me not to. He's worried that if he's ever driving my car sometime and it should happen to break down, he wont let anyone open the hood (where most of the mods are going to be).

Tow truck driver: What seems to be the problem here?
Boyfriend: It wont start.
Tow truck driver: Well, lets open the hood and have a look.
Boyfriend: Huh uh....

I have the only Sebring Silvermist Metallic GA in Grands that I have seen. I've gone with black, suites the look completely!!! Go with black- you'll love it(I know, you picked blue- but still my 2 cts.
