paint the middle of your hood black and paint your roof black. if u want paint your front bumper grill black.
and u will hav a 2 tone car. it's a clean simple look
if u want more style, add black pin stripes on the side of your car

that's my 2cents

Here's the roof: it's actually NightHawk Black (a really dark blue) with blue pearl.


And the side:


We separated the two blues with a stripe that matches the roof color- this was painted first, but with the clearcoat over the entire car, you cannot feel the stripe if you touch the paint (don't touch!)

I didnt know your roof was black, that's nice... looks good against a dark color.

Its going to take some serious thought and work to pull it off.. GL.. I like the DWP but maybe do a CF hood and trunk lid or something.. that might look good..
