Hmm. Guess I should just stick with the original idea of a glossy black with red parts. It's nice, basic and easy to add things on down the road. And about that shift ****, this is the one that's in it now, I ordered the **** a couple days after getting the car cuz I didn't like the shape of this but it's grown on me.

if you really want it two toned, this is what to do..

bottom milano red
top black with silver flakes to look similar to carbon fiber


get a carbon fiber good

make the paint look like its comming from the hood and up, that way its not to ricey. i like 2 toned cars but they have to look good, hers my ideas



if that helps at all... black with red lip rims would look sick too

Do the black that Subaru has (pretty sure its Subaru). It has gold flake in it, but its more subtle. I also love the Kiwi Metallic that is on the Honda Elements.

i really think stripes should stay with the oldschool. if your not rockin a classic, dont rock their paintjobs.. i mean it looks nice on some applications but not on a civic imho

Supersize, I love the idea of black with silver flakes, might consider it, but I'm not too sure about that much red. I love that drawing haha and the idea but What do ya think about black with silver flakes, and a small off set stripe? Either 1/4"-3/4" or 6"-8" over the steering wheel? Sick idea Brent

like i said before, i would leave the stripes with the classics, if your goin for tuner look, solid color would be best or how i showed you with the top one color and the bottom another, if you got decent money, you can have the black fade into the red, that would look sick
