Talking opinions needed - what color suspension/brakes/etc on dark metallic green T/A

My t/a is dark metallic green, and when I get around to doing some suspension upgrades and (maybe) painted calipers, I wanna have them all one color (but not the same color as my car). I know alot of it won't be visible, but some will (calipers, STB, some other stuff). Black doesn't really stand out much, just kinda blends in with the background. Yellow sorta goes ok with green but looks "ricey". I think red would look good with it, my mom says she don't like that combination. Even if I wanted dark metallic green for everything, it would end up costing me a good bit more just to have it all color matched. So what color (not necessarily out of the ones I mentioned) would you go with on a dark green T/A?

Why not white. I am not sure how hard it would be to keep clean though. I think that would looks sweet with some white Viper Style Racing Stripes..

Josh: My brother has a dark green TransAm (forrest green I believe) and he did a silver theme with his suspension stuff. It looks really good!! I'd say do silver or white. Good luck.

Dark Green is such a hard color to work with.
I think a lite Grn. or teal might look interesting w/ the dk. grn. But then you've got cost $$$.... For stuff you can get from BMR and the like... I'd go silver.
Hope this helped some.

I think silver would look pretty damn good IMO.
