Default Need Help on a 2 tone car

Well, recently my car got hit by a pellet gun and now I have to take my car to the bodyshop. At the same time, I also have a big rust spot on my roof. I want to know if you guys agree on this idea of mine. *I know some of you guys are going to say "its your car" but I really do consider peoples opinions because I want to make sure I have a car that stands out in a good way*

Well anyways, I was planning on telling the painter to paint my hood, roof and trunk black, Then powdercoat my wheels black also. How will that look?

Heres a pic of my car:

So any help will be apreciated.

Maybe a photochop before I commit to this project

Hey Mike,

I would say paint the roof black, wheels black, and leave the wing CF.

The two-tone is really hard to pull off..

I say finish off the rest of the bodykit and get a drop before you go 2 tone..money would be better spent IMO.

Finish off with the kit and lower it more as well, refinish the wheels in sbc, take off the spoiler and leave the 2tone out of it.

car looks nice and clean so far......maybe you should go the cf way..or if you really want to paint it, than stock color and lower the car instead.

......but if your set on doing the two tone, make sure you paint the window pillars black as well or it won't follow the lines of the black hatch. Personally though, I say keep it clean without the two tone. (Love the wheels...)

Just the center of the roof black. The rest should stay body color.
