Not my car, but I found this in another thread. Not quite all red, but you get the idea.

Hell yes it helps....THANK YOU! I think that looks good. I may give it a whirl. I know to alot of people this style is old and played out, but in my area we are a lil slow. So not many people around here go for subtle style. Most go for body kits and basic swaps. Im tryin to pick up the clean subtle look and a nice swap to go with it.
