we all have different taste and looks how we want our car, i would have stayed stock CYM but if it makes you happy

*did you trade your wheels yet? well with that color you could get staggered black coated rims (Keep the car two tone) it will look good the way it looks now with that custom paintjob

I dont think that it looks too bad. I like 2 tone Fd's a lot, I would have painted the entire hood black and not painted the front bumper at all though. But as long as you like it.

Looks great in my opinion I want to do a 2-tone black/tgm and Im about halfway through, just have to repaint the roof line now

Do you like how the black runs slightly lower then the window line? Looks almost like it curves, was that your intent?

BTW: What kind of hood is that? Looks like a karbonlite...
Thanks man! Yeah the intent was for a very slight curve, and as for the paint running about a inch below the window line, yes I like it. It will also score more points if you show the car plus it's a little harder to do but worth it in the end, I also ran the paint into the jams. As for the hood yeah it was a karbon hood I just painted it cause of the heat cracks. but the car was done at my shop
( Extreme Paint and Collision) in Lawrenceville GA so if anyone is looking for paint and lives close I can help. I wanted somthing diff, somthing that has not been seen befor

different folks different strokes. IMO... i don't like this paint scheme. Too much black towards the front bumper. i feel the original all yellow looked better. This style however, looks cool on a VS fortune kit or something with extreme wide body.

at the end of the day, all that matters is your own opinion since it's you thats going to be driving it. there's always going to be haters, oh well.

but if you want my opinion, personally i'd rather paint the black in lines across the car for a bumblebee theme.. ahaha jp. the car's definitely unique and will turn heads.

Um, no. The yellow alone looked really nice. The black on it just cluttered it up, and looks sloppy. Not that the work itself is sloppy, but the shape of the black area in front just looks goofy to me. Everyone has their opinion, and mine is that he should have just left it the way it was, and get some re-usable vinyl for shows if he wanted a more custom look. Driving a car that looks like that everyday would be embarassing.

please. I said that your car looks like ****. Maybe other people on here are too nice to say it, but it does. The car looked good yellow...and would still look good yellow. At least with the vinyl you could make it look normal again after the show instead of driving around a turd all the time. Hell, just redo the front. The back end, roof, and hood look pretty good (still not my style, but it looks decent). The front end is just awful, though, and totally ruins the lines of the car and what could have been a really cool looking custom paint job

And my car is as much a Grand Prix as yours is a Miata. The ignorance of some of the members of this board astounds me sometimes

Dude listen to yourself! Your basically telling him what to do (to satisfy your own interest) and it's not even your car.

No, I think you are taking what I said in the wrong way. I was just stating my personal opinion. People don't make threads like this unless they expect to receive feedback, and I'm giving mine. Most people don't respond to negative feedback with personal attacks, but hey - if that's how he wants to deal with it, that's cool.
It's not like this is coming from some domestic import-hater. I've owned 11 imports in the past few years...I love imports, and I've been a part of the import thing for almost all of the past 10 years. I don't have a built-in bias just because of the car I drive
True, if he's satisfied with it, then that's fine, but to me it looks really goofy in the front. It looks like he's trying to build body lines where they don't exist, and it just looks awkward.
