Default What color to use in my two-tone...

So last week some insane lady runs a stop sign and hits me at a 4-way stop. Car doesn't look bad but it needs a new bumper cover, crush bar, left fram mount and needs to go on a frame rack because it jacked the left front frame horn about 4 inches. Ok not so bad...her insurance will cover it...NOT! She doesn't have any...No worries mine will cover uninsured motorists and they will sue her for the cost of repairs etc.

I figured this was the perfect time to give my Z a new look. Ordered the Motorsport Type 7 urethane kit ([URL="http://www.350zsource.com/bodykit7-1.htm"]) and decided to go with a two tone. Plan on having the skirts, lower lip of the front bumper and lower part of the rear apron painted the Ind, and the hood, roof and hatch the same color.

My Z is PPW and I was thinking of going with Interlagos Fire as my two-tone color. I want something a little darker to accent the white, but dont want black or blue.....maybe a dark silver?

So my question is what do you guys/gals think of the PPW and IF scheme...or any suggestions of some other color you think would look good with the PPW.

dang, sorry to hear about the car - but on a lighter note...sweet bodykit! ha Yeah, I say IF would look killer. You're probably gonna get some crap because it's not, like you said, black or silver blah blah. And you want to paint the hood, roof and decklid IF too correct? Man, that would look great w/ ppw imo. I myself prefer more the monochromatic look, but I say do it and be different. Good luck with the rebuild.

Yea the main reason Im leaning more towards IF is because it seems that PPW and IF are the least common colors I see. Silver, Black and DB are rather plentiful. And yea, I plan to have the hood, roof and hatch IF also for that sandwich effect on the PPW.

IF was the inital color I was looking for when I decided to get a Z, so Im partial to it. And for some reason I want to keep along the stock colors....not sure why. I have thought about a deep blue or purple with a third color (probably yellow) as a small stripe to divide the white and secondary color. Just some things Im tossing around and thought I would ask my fellow Z drivers on some colors they might lilke to see alongside PPW.
