I can't say that I am a huge fan of the two-tone. It makes the car look a bit funny from the side. What bothers me most is the lowest plastic part beneath the doors since it is left black on the 2000 model. As such, there is a sort of arched look to the body from the side, which may look good on athletic shoes, but to my eye not on cars. I am thinking about having that part painted greyish gold like the rest of the lower cladding, but I prolly would prefer to have the cladding painted champagne like the rest of the car. Just don't want to incur the cost of doing it.

I have a two tone but would trade it in second for a solid black or dark blue.

Thumbs up

I guess now that I have had both (my 2001 ES was two tone), I prefer the 1 solid colour overall.

personally prefer the two-tone, specially for the older es' that were made two tone

keeps the classy look.

otherwise they look eerily identical to the camry versions. maybe the only mono-tone es' that i've liked are the all black one's ive seen around on CL
