Keep the top blue, keep the wheels silver.  Dark gray / black the other new additions.

Like this? I think I was so interested in the idea of painting the top section that I didn't even attempt to consider with it as is. You may be right. I'll keep pondering on it.

Also still not certain if I want different center color but since the silver doesn't look terrible I'm not in a rush to paint them quite yet.

+2. Black basket weaves only work on GNX's and nothing else. 

I'm gonna be the odd man out.  I like ALL the things you've considered making black.  Top, A & B pillars, and yes, the basket weaves also black.  But asthetics are so personal preference.  Do what looks best to your eye and makes you happy.

So I decided to apply the treatment from a side view and it's changed my mind I think to no black top paint or even spoiler. I think it would be hard to tape off the spoiler and not look weird since it's molded into the body. I plan to modify the skirts to flare out at some point and wanted to see with or with rear valance so that's added in digitally. Wheel color is still in consideration and to me I don't think a dark gray or magnesium would be terrible. Yet the existing silver isn't bad either. Also be aware I'm red/green color blind so sometimes my colors aren't exactly correct.

With no changes for comparison.

I think rockers and basketweaves black, everything else blue.

Those wheel centers would look cool in a pale gold with the dark blue paint. Just sayin'.

Cool project btw.

Gold or bronze is on the list of options for sure. It's hard to beat blue and gold.
