Red or Silver?

If I ever want to add the front skid plate to my X, which do you think would look better Red or Silver? (photoshoped the front)

They both look good but personally I'd vote for the silver. It ties in better with the kidney grilles and rims.

Red IMO - silver looks better on silver or black.

Red, the minute you look at the front end, you see the hood which is red then you need something to pull your eyes down to the skid plate which is red.

Silver will somewhat make it stand out more...just from a designers' perspective

I would go with red.

Have you see the pictures of the X6? It looks bad from the rear because of the grey/silver skid plate (or whatever it is) that is has there.

Also, the aero kit is colored to match the car. This skid plate reminds me of that. I would say that your choices are really red or black (but red would still be the first choice).

I will order from Morristown this week as soon as I get enough opinions on the color but I am leaning towards RED (dont know why). Thanks for the replies.
