I have a 99 silver frost cougar. here is what i was thinking of adding....
Headlight and tailight covers(painted blue), and racing strips(blue also). Right now i have blue interior, blue sidemarkers, and blue grill. Here are pics, let me know what you think.

i think it might be a tad much .... it all depends on if all the blues match,
i have a 2000 silver frost and love the way strips look on the coug, my personal taste i would go alittle darker blue than those pics .

I have a silver with all blue accents, too, but I think the covers would overstate the blue accent you're going for. I would keep it to simple things that don't glare out to keep the lines smooth and clean. Just my opinion, but I wouldn't do blue covers.

yeah thats ice cube, thats what I voted for.
Here is my suggestion..
Go with the blue racing stripes, silver tailight covers, take apart your headlights and paint them silver and u know the 2 little lip things where the high and low beams are? paint those blue. Also remove the orange reflector, heh.

I was afraid to paint the headlight covers too, but it really isn't too bad....just don't rush it....
I'm not too much into interior paint myself...

I think you should stick with painting the covers silver, I just think they look weird if they arent the same color as the car. The grill would be alright blue. And as for the stripes im not a big fan of them. Someone on here had a black one with yellow stripes and i just didnt think it looked right on our cars.

I would stay away from the blue stripes. However, I believe blue wheels would look awesome. Some 18's or 19's!! Also, don't go with blue h and t covers. It will make your car look like Mimi from the Drew Carey show.

There is a guy in my town with orange 19's on his Si. And believe it or not, it actually looks good. You can get any color you want through powdercoating.
