Default Bumper Inserts

Hey guys I was wondering what color bumper inserts would look best with my car, or if any would look nice. I have a 2000 Mustang 3.8 thats laser red ext and tan leather int. Here are some pics to help you out.

If you are keeping the "mustang" vinyal on the side, then I would get tan inserts, otherwise go for black ones. Autobadges.com sells a really HOT black Stainless steel set, I have 'em and they are sharp.

tan if you can find them never seen them before, or possibly a stainless steel inserts. If you take the rocker panel stripe off then go with black.

Do you think it would still be right if I had black inserts if i took the gold mustang stripe off of the side door even thought I still have a tan leather interior?

Its kinda a crappy pic, but here is my car with chrome inserts. I like them a lot, and paid about $12 shipped off of ebay. Of course, if you keep your rocker stripes, don't get chrome, get tan or black.

What if you buy some paint, and paint them the color you want. I don't think the inserts are that expensive.

Is that a factory color on your car? Maybe its just the pic or my monitor, but it looks like a dark burnt orange, I like it and can't remember ever seeing others like it.

So do you guys think it could still look good if i were to take the gold mustang stripe off of the doors and put black inserts on the bumper. I might also get black mustang stripes for the side if it looks right
