I like the look but I think I am going to do the opposite.
Do the sides of my Ti. with Black or maybe Stratos blue.

i think i remember seeing a yellow 8 at sevenstock with it. looked good on his ride also.

-hS
I am not liking this, when the whole car is blacked out on top it looks much better. like the vielside one on page 1. The car at sevenstock was a guy from arizona and he had the whole top black not just the cabin. I think it breaks the lenght of the car up.

Winning Blue would look F'ing HAWT with a black top. Titanium Grey would look great too.

Take what I said with a grain of salt...

My license plate doesn't say DRKSYDE for nuttin! EVERYTHING will be black on my car. The only things that won't be are the windshield and the headlights.

Just saying that those two colors would match with a black top best. I really don't care that much for the black/red

Dood I think it looks good.. But if you do it you should go O.G. with it and do it Carbon Fiber... Dont do the Hood and trunk Carbon Fiber too looks too ricy and just too much Carbon Fiber.. I like the look It doesnt look bad at all... BTW where did you get the CB Burnout lip from.. How much did you get it for... I am thinking of getting that one or the V2 of that lip...

its cool looking, but then you will have to get a cb hood, and ill leave the trunk normal. but i prefer the way you have it now, but both ways look nice (if black top has a cb hood)

Discussed doing this with the GF's car and the experienced painter said that it was not a good idea. The problem is the line between the new paint and the existing paint. It can peel unless you clearcoat all of the panels it will be on. The paint break will show. She decided against doing it but I think it looks good.
