Carmine red with black door handles?

[most_vexing_parse]

Red - doesn't look so good in real life IMHO. You could always consider getting them wrapped later on.

Perhaps consider gloss black brake calipers instead as the white doesn't look right at all.

I agree, I went with black PSCB on my GTS build, for this reason. It goes much better with the use of black in the GTS design language.

Looks good with your spec

+1 for the black handles

Great look with the black/red contrast. I'd order the electronic charge port door with the black tab. I think that will continue the line really nicely and will look even better.

+1 on adding the electronic charge port door. Goes very well with the black handles!

Red door handles and opt for colour matched mirror bases. Just my opinion. looks clean

Beat me to it. ALWAYS spec painted mirror trim - especially if doing black door handles.

My lock date is coming up on the 14th, but the last thing I’m thinking about doing is adding black door handles to my carmine red build (see photos).

What do y’all think? Should I keep the black door handles or just have them red

They do look better in pic 1 with the dark pano roof and rear window.

But the view you will see is pic 2 and 3, which don't look anywhere near as good imo.

Especially pic 2, where there is less dark contrasting going on.

Agree that they would go better with electric port covers.......and also that wrapping makes sense.

I got my Cherry Metallic CT last week. I did gloss black all over. Window surrounds, inlays, handles, logo. Paired with the power charge port it creates a beautiful line across the side. It’s not Carmine red, but it should give you a decent idea.

CT looks fantastic with black handles. But, IMHO you can take more liberties with the CT than with the sedan due to the CT's more aggressive off-road persona.

Agree, it just has a different vibe than the sedan. (I just finished washing it, so it’s in the fully lifted height here).

Lovely. It's nice to finally see a real vehicle with the option. It confirms the effect I was hoping for- I've got my brave pants on with it on my Frozen Blue build.
