Vinyl overlays...help me choose.

I decided to do a little to the appearence of my car by putting some vinyl overlays on it. I'm gonna order them from brent. I'm gonnna get the back one that says Camaro and the one that says "Z28" that goes on the back light. My car is Polo Green(the dark green color). What color do you think i should go with. I'm pretty sure i want a reflective overlay but i don't have to get that. I was thinking reflective light silver or maybe reflective black.

Re: Vinyl overlays...help me choose.

i got the brushed aluminium ones from brent and LOVE them, they're great, looks just like the real thing, it shines in the daylight, and reflects light (like metal would) at night, but they aren't the 'reflective' ones...

hope this helps, i think it'd look so nice...

Re: Vinyl overlays...help me choose.

Mine is polo green as well.. I ordered the black CAMARO insert and metallic charcoal overlays... I wanted to go with subtle colors, instead of something bold looking... The black insert is noticable but not overly so, just what I wanted... The overlays are brighter of course, but don't stand out really strong.. If you want a really noticable rear insert for daylight, I'd suggest something lighter than black... BTW, Brent is a great guy to deal with... Very helpful and even sent pics of the colors I was choosing between.

Re: Vinyl overlays...help me choose.

shoulda went with reflective black... nobody sees it comin till its blaring in their face... im doing my car black with white hockey sticks, stripped Z28 emblems, deleted "Camaro" indents in the back, cowl lettering, a 3rd brakelight overlay, nose emblem overlay, and since the car is black, i may do some custom vinyl trim to it that only shows up at night.... i think it will look badass just a matter of getting it painted now...

Re: Vinyl overlays...help me choose.

Thanks guys!

Polo green is a hard color to do a color scheme with.

The most popular choices are black and silver. If you are looking for something subtle, I'd suggest reflective black for the rear CAMARO insert and black for the brake light overlay. That would be fairly subtle yet pretty nice. If you want to stand out a little more, then silver or relfective light silver for the CAMARO and black for the brake light overlay.

If mine, I'd probably do reflective black for CAMARO and black for the Z28 overlay but that's just me. If you want reflective YELLOW, I can do that too. LOL! I have done yellow for polo green but it is far from subtle.

Re: Vinyl overlays...help me choose.

Yeah i think i will go with the reflective black. For the Camaro part, then black Z28 for the brake light. I think i might get that Carbon fiber overlay for the front emblem. The one in the pic looked good.
