I have been putting the Shine kit on my vert and it and all the other parts related are black. Test fitting, it actually suggests that two tone might look okay.

Black from the rub/trim strip down. Sunrise Red up from the trim strip, of course with the black top.

So, am I stuck in the 80's by thinking that the two tone looks good, or is two tone coming back and contemporary???

 

Any photochops of this available? I mean it sounds like it might look good, Im not not good at visualizing lol

 

ya no offense

you were right it is 80's style

but its a hell of an idea,you never know,,,i was hot once,you might ressurect the idea

so go for it(wow ya that message was effed up)

 

I think that color combination makes your car look more retro.

 

One color

 

Personally a two-tone (although I gotta say Im personally a sucker for a red S4, gotta love red n' black!) can be made to look excellent.

depending on exactly how you divide it, it should look great. The sounds of a black bottom and mouldings with red upper and the black top does sound appealing.....

I think though on a coupe you'd need to leave the bottom red, just make the roof black from perhaps belt mouldings up...however since this is a vert, the black rrof is taken care of and the black paint on the bottom would compliment it nicely...

go for it man!

 

I am going to go with monochromatic. 2-tone is just too busy.. Yeah, I said it! What?!?

 

Im torn, your description sounds nice, and I have a friend with a 2 tone first gen which looks good but I work near a Jaguar dealership and all their 2 tones make me cringe. I personally wouldnt do it, but it definitely would be unique.

 

IceMark,

Post a pic of your car and I'll photoshop it.

samples of my work. Unfortunately i do not have any pictures of a vert that i could modify...

nice p-chop takahashi, nice and clean, i like the look of two tone, i was thinking about doing it to my coupe. does anyone have a copy of photoshop they would be willing to burn onto a CD i wouldnt register it, i just havent played on photoshop in a while and would love to tinker with my car on that. BTW sorry to hijack.

Thanks

Zak

 

i love the one with the red wheels! But you know i am sorta into the retro thing too, i mean i am 33 yrs old. but still it does look tasteful.

 

Yeah that's the idea, but this is the only picture I found right now. I have more on my home computer.

 

I like the two tone look too.

 

Sorry IceMark that pic is very small but i did my best with it. the pixel count in really low so when i bring it up in my program it's all bocky.

Hmm, just don't know. Probably would look much better with the top up, and the side skirts and front end on it.

Thanks for the chop though!

 

looks very 80's Ferrari and Porsche. To each his own (or her own) get me a BIG image and I will creat a (near) perfect duplicate with you desired mods.

Sent you a PM with my Email attached so You can send me a Large picture.

Sorry, I voted two-tone because I like ugly sometimes.

 

I think the FC trimline is too high for a black bottom. I've always wondered what 2-tone would look like with black on the top, from the crease on up, and whatever color on the bottom (side moulding would be body color), similar to the older eclipses.

 

two tone looks nice...

 

i vote 2 tone because i want to see someone do it for once. i think it would look sick personally, so go for it damnit

 

Two tones belong on Corollas and 240's. Let's keep it that way .

 

it's personal preference, everyone hates the bra on my car but i don't think it looks that bad.

 

two tone would be good for like a black and gray, not so much digging the red and black.

 

def do it. it looks hot.

 

the only modern car it looks decent on is the es300

and thats just lazy toyota who didnt want to paint
