Here's a question brought up by ej6buddy and Live_4it...

Is a green car with a blue interior tacky? This is only asking opinions... please, do not take poll results personally if they don't agree with your opinion

My cars exterior color is the first attachment(haven't washed it in awhile cold weather here lot of salt on her). The second pic is what it would look like washed and polished (the color). The interior will be blue accesories like the 3rd attachment. Come on it wouldn't look that bad[sm=smiley24.gif]

idk Id stay with the whole green thing. Forest green adn white look really sharp together IMO

if you're just getting an e-brake handle, then i think it would look fine, but if you paint all of your interior pieces blue, idk

well, I'll prolly do the shifter knob and maybe the gauges at some point. And maybe a blue steering wheel cover and/or raceing seats. All the same blue color of course wouldn't want a bunch of different tones of blue.

not painting, I mean for the interior. That was just the valve cover I was thinking to paint.

I've seen Mazdas with that before... it looks amazing,.. I can't imagine how hard it would be to keep clean, though... I have trouble keeping my dark blue valve cover clean ;)

that has to be powdercoated, thats too smooth to be hand painted.

I like white and black, nice mix, but agree its probably hard to keep clean.

I need to clean my engine bay bad!

i thnk you need a combination of white or black in with a normal color to make it not look tacky. Other than that i think it looks pretty ricey.....

on a side note i think dark colors (like burgundy or forest green like mentioned earlier) look better than like neon green or blue

blue and green = not soo bad.

just depends on the actual shades of blue n green. some combo's work. some dont. its all about what the owner of the car thinks. its not about what everyone else thinks.. at least it shouldnt be.

^ it's just a poll, and only your opinions, so not any of that "depends on what the owner thinks"

and for the record, what blue and green "shades go together"

and i'm assuming you're the second to vote no?

wow, it must be hard for you to watch sports with all them clashing colors[sm=insomnia.gif]. They should just all wear black on black and be original.

Ej are you scareing people so they vote tacky?

ej6buddy
03-01-2007, 11:32 PM
yes, that's what i'm doing, i'm scaring people into voting tacky, especially when the vote reveals what everyone already thinks of the combo on a car, and yes, this poll is for cars, and cars only. i'm not saying the color combination is tacky in any case, such as clothing, but it is on a car. (IMO, yes, it's my opinion, exactly what this poll is about) and i asked an honest question, what blue and green shades go nicely on a car. maybe a tiel/forest green combo?

If it's opinionated and your fine with that why are you jumping on people?

i vote for green and white (hmm wonder why) i have my valve cover painted white with green honda letters...it doesn't get that dirty though and i don't have the plastic wheel wells in either probably cause it is so high in the engine bay. and i painted mine with jus base/clear shot out of a gun and holds up great in the heat..

bright colors combined with bright colors = tacky
bright colors combined with white/black = good

dark colors combined with white/black = the best

I can see that but like a forest green exterior color and blue interior accesories like the blue carbon fiber e-brake I put in. I don't think thats too extreme.

oh definately not (i almost boguht that exact same ebrake handle), but i think bright PAINT like blue or green looks really tacky

ej6buddy

live_4it, you should find some paint to match your grey interior and paint the e brake handle grey but leave the carbon fiber part alone, that would look different
