I don't mind that actually! Maybe a tad darker and without the sticker and yeah I like that. Can someone photoshop that on a BB with red?

I've been thinking about buying a seibon hood (TS I believe it's called) and painting it all BB except for the gills in the vents. But I've been toying with the idea of adding a red pinstripe or something here and there but I'm not sure yet. Just looking for ideas that's all

I was more thinking of a small outline stripe around the rotary shape in the hood and/or the outline of the vents.

If horizontal, dark up top, light on the bottom. Think Honda NSX. If vertical, light on the front, dark in the back.
Thanks for the advice. I didn't think there was a method to the madness. I was aiming to paint my entire car, and ran out of paint. So I started peeling half assed panels off and it started looking like a Gundam. So I went with it.

well since Velocity = speed, it must be that since velocity red = the speed of red, that red must be slower than say lightning yellow....

If it's not subtle, two-tone looks like **** unless the car was designed for a two-tone. A subtle two-tone can look beautiful, specially in a RX8.

That red 8 isn't too bad though. I can see that it's the owners way of standing out and adding his/her own flavor to the car.

This on the other hand is halarious. Took the pic in Downtown Los Angeles *ghetto side. Hood scoop galore.
