i would say go for it..it looks nice..but they're kind of right..make sure u pick the right colors to do the two tone..not with that white at least..get a different white..or white with a slight tint of another color like blue or purple. another member who has a two tone black/white theme is ummagawd..check his car out..very nice!

Hate to say it. But that photo shopped black/white combo looks like @ss. I agree with what was said earlier. Black/red (i was thinking about doin that to MY car). OR black siler... etc. Dude, after you paint your car, please drop it somehow, anyhow.... asap. Cut springs if u must. but a drop IS a must.

Don't ever tell someone to cut their springs again.

The car is on Tein coils. Raised it up because I was working on the exhaust and that pic was taken right after the new exhuast was fab'd up. I plan on slamming it, thanks for looking out though : ) It's much easier to get a car on a lift or a jack underneath it than having to mess around with 2x4's.

The car right now has a shotty white with blue pearl paint, doesn't show up in the pics. It will be redone this spring as white with black pearl, ccw classics, and 97+ with lips.

the black and white is a little too police-ish for me. Ive been thinking of going dark dark gunmetal grey with 2 fat black stripes down the middle (67 shelby in gone in 60 seconds) but theres something about all black on black...oh yeah, and the money thing too thats stopping me.

I <3 2 tone if done right. Personally I think it would look good, but not as good as well... Red and Black

I think I'm just going to go white with the c/f parts unpainted and go from there. I was looking at the lines and there aren't any breaks that would allow it to be a different color. Meaning I would have to tape it off and it would be a straight line.

after thinking about it, im with the NSX style, just do the roof. Make it look like a space shuttle! With a NASA sticker! Yeah!

White body, blk roof, CF pieces here and there...it could work.

Just do the black roof like the new M3 BMW or the Lexus ES 350.
