Color Ideas

Ive got a 1st gen project Ive been trying to get the ball rolling on for about 3 months now, I just cant get myself to start on it. BUT when I do get it going, one of the first things im doing is new paint. Its currently black and I was thinking of going blue but leaving the roof and a and b pillars black, like you see some 240's... I did a rough photoshop of what itll kinda look like (ROUGH I SAID) wanted to see if you guys had any input, possitive or negative opinions welcome, cause i know youll give them anyway lol.





itll be a bit brighter blue, but thats best i could do without taking all night. also, if i take the trim off the front and rear bumper, will it leave holes? and a groove? cause i dont want to have to paint over the old, semi dry rotted trim, also the side trim will be gone as well. SO, is it good or too ricey and blingy? Im wanting simple and clean, but yet still unique and stand out

I think a really dark metallic blue would look cool, idk about the two tone though. Some people like it and some people don't

I think the 2-tone kind of ruins the lines on the car. I think the Mitsubishi Eclipse and the Acrua NSX used to do that black roof thing and I never thought it looked good.

I'm actually a fan of two tone, its what i plan to do to mine. Mine will be a little different though. It will be more like they did in the hay days of our 7's. It would go down to the pin striping not just the roof and pillars. I'll see if I cant find a pic of it.
