MuttonFlanks is infamous around these parts
God no, especially on a light colored car. Makes it look cheap. Just remember... a little contrast is good

I prefer the contrast personally, this is a total preference thing. To me the car looks like its smiling at you when painted..just not for me.

I would do it with the white wheels and white rear emblem otherwise if you are selecting any other colour rather than white then a bit of contrast is needed.
