are you going to have a sharp line separating the colors or are you going to try and fade them (somehow :-/)

Kinda like this?


A photoshop I did for a friend who wanted to know what it would look like. I did it in a couple minutes... and that was the size of the pic, so I didn't even bother putting too much time into it.

We both decided we liked the idea way better than the actual result.

I swapped out the hatch, hood, and wheels from the limited edition one, and then did a vinyl wrapped two tone with a red line to make it match my car at the time.


I just needed the Kaminari kit. haha.




Now I am back on stock wheels though, and I pulled my two-tone off.

i paid about 25 bucks for the toy from someone on scionlife. and the paint would be another 10-15 bucks, but there is a lot of time into it, tapeing this thing of is a PITA
lol and i primered it last night, im gonna go sand some of it now, and maybe do more primer if it still rough.... i wanna do somethin i like and keep it rather then sell it... although i could use the money
