Red ZCPs on MW or AW

RezTTU · 12-30-2013, 01:50 PM

Hey guys, I'm thinking about getting my ZCPs done in red, just to try something different. Anyone have any pics of this being done? Curious to see what it would look like. I may just play around with some red plastidip and see how it looks haha. Thanks in advance guys.

Go to HRE's website and search. There's a white m3 with gloss red P43s. Its hard to pull off unless you have some matching accents in the right places.

red is awful. different is not always better.

Try a brushed bronze. HRE hasn't done a set yet, but I've talked to them about it. The powder exists, you just need to convince them to try it. I'm sure they'd do it since they're always open to trying new colors and looks.

ZCP's in brushed bronze? Haha, hard time picturing how that would look, hmm.

Red ZCP's

It could be done, but IMO only in a matte/anodized/satin finish. Gloss red would be very hard to pull off for a street car, IMO.

It has the potential to look ill, as seen in the above pics. Small accent pieces are what's going to make it or break it. Mirrors are a must and badges would help pull it off. Careful not to overdue the accents or it'll look cheap m

Just do it. Do the Mirror Caps and ZCP Wheels exactly like the RS with non-metallic full-gloss RED. Since its going to be so bold I'd go with Performance lip spoiler, any front lip, and a diffuser. Someone on this forum is selling red mirror caps in the FS section, you should pick em up. Its been done before on a few cars but since you are powdercoating OEM wheels I would stick with an OEM+ look, don't start painting the fender or hood grills red or change your roundels to red... that's instant cheese. Do yourself a favor and don't plasti-dip your wheels. Drop and spacers are a must

Get IND to put a gloss red highlight on the performance spoiler CRT style.

Agreed, definitely would do the mirror caps. I don't want it to look rice, if I do it, I would probably dip red first to see how I like it, and then powdercoat maybe a satin red. Little things like red RPI scoops too.

ChallengeM · 01-02-2014, 05:56 PM

While I like Comp wheels I think you'd need a more aggressive wheel to pull it off. Just my $0.02

Forget some red, Blackchrome looks so dam good on AW.

Justin Case · 01-02-2014, 06:41 PM

Personally (depending the on the colour of your car) a deep matt red with the right darkish grey could look pretty cool.
