Really struggling on selecting the color for my "shorty" body panels....Chassis is charcoal metallic...Maybe a maroon metallic, gold metallic, or a lighter silver metallic??? Not into alot of graphics, looking for an understated look.  Help!

The maroon and charcoal sounds like a nice combo.

Its all about what you like, but for me I tend to stay away from dark colors as they tend to blend into the tires and the track, and if you run at night, it gets even worse.

Thanks guys for the input, leaning toward Toyota Sizziling Crimson Mica and 2010 Mustang Sunset Gold combo.

I was given this advise a long time ago. College  and Professional sports team spend a lot of money researching color combinations.   A fool proof way of selecting colors is to look to the different teams and see what colors you like.
