What do you think about my color combo?

[mrgoochio]

Kindof a pointless thread I guess, but I'd like to hear some feedback. Jet Black and Lemon Boston might be the hardest color combo to keep clean.. but I can't help myself to this combo. I just imagine driving the car on a nice sunny day after a detail and I'll just be like :biggrin:


Jet Black / Lemon Boston Leather / High Gloss Black Trim


What do you all think?

My NSX was black with an Ivory interior and it looked nice together. I'm sure yours will look great.

I gotta give you props, good choice.

[darknightohio]

It will look great, plus you don't have to deal with snow or salt so you should be fine.

I like it but I hate the seat-color inserts on the doors. I don't know why, but I like all or nothing: either the entire cabin needs to be the seat color (i.e. porsche), or just the seats. I like black on black better, especially with sport package. I do like your choice of black trim with the lemon, or perhaps the grey poplar.

That stigma doesn't apply to this board but fairly rampant on other bmw forums.

I like looking at other people's black cars but I wouldn't want to own one. Too much work. Years ago, my wife just had to have a black Acura. That didn't last for long. Never again. Well, maybe if I buy an automatic car wash.

During the hour the car is clean, black and lemon will look great.

I personally love the two tone look, the contrast is whats doing it for me :headbang: I know what you mean though, a nice 1tone is classy

I don't know, the high gloss black trim might be too contrasting for the Lemon interior. Have you considered going with the Glacier alum trim?

If I was getting black again and leather, thats exactly what I would get. But I am getting Alpine White, I am tired of my black 07 Civic Si sedan. I like my cars clean most of the time, and its NOT possible with black. I have had white cars before and its a BREEZE to keep them looking great. Plus I don't have a garage which I think is a must for black vehicles.

Good luck, I am sure she will be a babe.:thumbup:

P.S. the piano gloss black will look awesome with the Lemon, lots of black in the interior besides the seats. It will be 50% Lemon and 50% black, SWEET brother.

I bet it is going to look beautiful! Have fun maintaining it though.
