Two-toned VR Photoshop Request

I'm really contemplating on two-toning my VR. I got the black roof idea from a fellow member with a silver 8 I think it was. Well, I am really looking for different two-tone lines, and colors that would look good with the VR. Other colors are easier to match, but VR is hard to get something to jive. I am very open to colors, different colors, semi-gloss colors, etc. Shoot out anything. I would really like to match the wheels with the roof/two-toned color. So shoot out any colors, ideas, etc. So far I have seen a black roof with black wheels, and thinking about bronze wheels, not sure how a bronze roof would look. Anyway, hook it up!

Few pics of my car. Feel free to grab other VR pics if they are suited better for photoshop. Thanks in advance!







Here is a picture of one that has been PS'ed already, and the car that gave me the idea.

Yeah, would look amazing in VR..

I'm thinking of doing it too, with my CF hood and red+black rims, I'd get a CF trunk aswell and it would look very clean I think.. I might PS up something really quick here for more reference :D

It would look good but it is a very common paint scheme among VR's


Search Bonique, his is two toned.

Wow. That looks really good. Ive been planning on getting the MS kit, or the Corksport, this would mean I'd have to wait to paint it. I was trying to keep it just on the roof, or possibly slightly onto the trunk/hood, but that looks good. Any other color ideas for the top half?

I am planning on doing something similar with a MS kit too. Still working out the styling and colors though. Nice pics though, they'll help me figure out what I want.

Well, I think I have decided to keep it strictly to the roof. Now I just have to decide if I want it semi-gloss, or gloss.

I buzzed through your posts, and couldnt come across it. If you type in photoshop vr it comes up with like 1000 entries, ill keep looking.
