i like, but *alot* of people have 2 tones... see if you can figure out a way to incorporate the black somehow else

Mightygnu 04-24-2007 05:26 AM

maybe just a glossy black, or just BSP... maybe something with a sexy flake in it?

dschnurr 04-24-2007 05:27 AM

go for it... ive never seen this two tone and it looks hott!

LLcoolTREY 04-24-2007 05:28 AM

i will consider the sexy flake.......

Mightygnu 04-24-2007 05:30 AM

just depends on how much you wanna spend, but Neothin is right, a lot of people have 2-tones, but i really like this one

Flat Black

Mightygnu 04-24-2007 05:38 AM

definitely a gloss black, but I still stand by my first post and say go with a nice flake.

What you want to do can be done. A carbon fiber look is going to take some serious custom paint work. To do a 2-tone well like this without a carbon fiber look should cost $2000-3500. With a carbon fiber look I would expect that an additional $1000-2000 would have to be expected.

i say do it anyways and make yours more unique like bring down the 2 tone like similar to the JLine xB. that would be tight.

it really doesnt matter that someone has already done it or if alot of people have it...who cares as long as it's what you want. your photochop looks sick and that would be an awesome paintjob man.

Matt stealth black.

camo_whip 04-24-2007 09:49 PM

if u like it then just go for it, who cares if some1 else already did it? if u wana change it and have the money 2 spend, u could do a cf hood and hatch and just paint the roof black or make it look like cf..just my 2 cents
