red looks pretty good. but then everything else you buy needs to be red as well.

Agreed, I think black is a safe bet but if you have the theme to pull it off, red rocks.

Idk the only thing red on my car is red part of my blacklines. I dont know i want so it can stand out so you can actually seee it through the grill hard to decide. I have the black theme.

What do the RPI scoops do? I know its a lot more money, but maybe you should consider wheels? You have what look like stock 16's or 17's and a pretty aggressive front bumper kit. Might be easier to pull off the stand out mods if you do the wheels first?

Dude the scoops go inside ur grill annd they conect to your intake snorkel so you get more cooler air to the intake. I wont bother now with wheels since winter is coming. O and Cyba sells the scoops for $39 shipped
