Default contemplating two-tone scheme for thundercloud

I've pretty much decided to do a two-tone over my thundercloud metallic. I'll probably just end up doing the upper half starting at the hard body line right below the glass like everyone else. And I think I've decided on black with an orange pinstripe, but I don't know if I want it to be a metallic or not. without actually seeing it fully painted I don't know if I'd be able to decide if it would look good or not with metallic in it. I would really appreciate any thoughts especially from anyone who might have the same colors currently on their box. Thanks.

TCM with a two-tone upper-half black is going to look sick. do you have any carbon fiber parts or any black accents?

not so sure about the orange pinstripe though

Here's some pics of the current setup:






My plans are to paint custom tinted eyebrows on the headlamps (same thing I did on the tail lamps) that slope down from the corner of the hood to the bottom inside corners. I'm also going to shave the center emblem in the grill and paint that black as well.

it will probably still look good, but would look better if you had some carbon fiber or black accents on the front of your car

maybe a black grill, black eyelids, CF hood, CF front lip, etc.

I'd go ahead and do it though haha

excluding the orange pinstripe. big no no

I don't really think you have the parts to support 2 tone.
Usualy its kitted, bagged, dumped etc etc

just my .02
