Rominl style 2-tone:





I got a few more pics, but we get the picture. Yes you can do a 3-slat style or a 2-slat style 2 tone color combination. Depending on how you like it!

Hey did you see the first 2 pics I posted on the silver Aristo with the unpainted 3-slats cf grill? I am actually curious to know what you have to say about that.

We all know the white one is ***** hot! hehehehe.

to me the 3 slat CF looks more racey and the ones that have the whole surround painted look more VIP.Like the silver car you posted looks sick but in a race you and win kinda way while the white ones look more VIP and classier.

jtanoyo1: Thanks man. After you posted those pics, now I'm loving the 3 slat look. Going to print these pics and take them to the bodyshop to show them... I need to make up my mind soon!!!

Trance: You're right about the two slat looking more classier...looks great. I'm glad this thread started so I can make a decision soon...

Man, I am telling you, on a silver car like yours and mine, 3 slats of solid black horizontal strips are the only way to go! I don't even want to bust out the pictures above because I wanted to be the first to do them, but I really feel the urge to share the information with you guys, just to show what really is available out there.

not sure about that, i have a feeling the two middle bars dark with the surronding silver would look better

I was in favor of the l-tuned before I saw the CF / blacked out DSR. But now...?

Has anyone seen an l-tuned with a carbon fiber or blacked out center slat?
