Depends on where you break the two-tone line!

Not old school:
That doesn't look like it's even 2-tone. The two colors on the other pic are so contrasting it looks bad.

Default Mine is two-toned as well.

I love SoCal's two-toned look. My painters picked the same line to two-tone mine.

2 toned should be a color shade and then a darker version of that shade around cladding - NOT a contrasting different color. It just looks weird. I agree it totally ruins the otherwise beautiful lines on the 2GS. It looked 10 times more fugly in person btw....

Liz - there is a good chance you will be banned if you ever post another picture as hideous as that one

Isn't this about the time that someone posts pictures of the Burberry GS or the smurf blue one?

I also think that it looks OK. It is all on how you look at things.

Sure it does because the color MATCHES and compliment each other!

No way that looks like a more egg shaped ES.

Two tone could be nice, but you have to choose the right complimenting colors. blue and white just isn't it. Unless you have a red interior and going for the red white and blue theme.

The 3 cars with the 2 tones all complemented each other, unlike this drastic effect
