Default Going Two Tone

I am thinking about going two tone next spring when I get the car repainted. I would be going with c/f seibon hood and trunk and then would paint a-pillars up black. Anyone want to do a photoshop of this?

What colors are you thinking about? I really like Lexus two-tones but if you were to do it, I'd try to make it look like a factory two-tone, like those older ES two-tones, etc. Your car looks very nice right now. If it were my car, I would probably put the money into something else.

I'd like to see black with charcoal/gray/titanium/silver or a white/tan two-tone, but only like the older ES two-tones where the bottom lower part was a different shade, not where the top half is one color and the bottom half is another. I've only seen one SC two-tone like this that looked decent; it was a red or dark red with a black early NSX-style top, I think, similar to the style you're wanting. ...Wish I had a pic of it right now.

Just do the roof ala 91 NSX style.

A total two tone paint job will require you to wear a Nomex suit when you post pics.
