I've always been a big fan of two tone paint tones. Although, mazda > toyota, so it should be something better than a Tofu delivery hatch :P
Maybe a kobe beef delivery car

Wow, that looks pretty good for the body style (the 2 tone) Try a darker black and a red. The Trueno was also offered in red and you'd have less initial D fanboy and more authentic. I think it'd looks pretty cool.

i think I might paint my fc panda now. Not because of initial D but that looks really cool. I'd want a gloss black for the bottom though.

Still wouldnt prefer it over a solid color...

I dont too much dig the 2 tone on the rx7 really. However, it looks good on a 2nd gen Suppy (7MGTE.)
