    Two-tone (purists beware)

    I was bored a few weeks ago and felt like photoshopping a flat black two-tone idea. Anyway, here's what it would look like if anyone is considering it. I personally am not, but we all have different tastes, someone might dig it...

    Oh yeah, the tint and shadowline are also shopped, that WILL be happening.





    And the cartoon version, ha.

        Did you just draw a line and use "Fill all" in paint? Im no purist, but I can't say I'm digging it...

            I didn't use paint. It's Photoshop... I used a few layers with some opacity. For the cartoon version I just hid the photo on accident and thought it looked kind of cool so i finish it off using some rough lines.

                I say keep the black up higher, like just below the windows and along the top fender line. With the black being on top its just to heavy of a color on the white to do that much on a two tone.
                this is my buddys old e30..

                  Not that i'm trying to defend my terrible two tone idea, but your buddies car (however sweet wheels and stance) looks like he just has mismatched hood and trunk. At least if it's on the side it looks to be somewhat on purpose. Like I said, don't think it makes it much better but makes a bit more sense to me. :D

                    That line is a natural breaking point on the body, but white and black are so far apart, its a bit much. Add the bumper strip and rocker panels in black, and you have an e30 oreo. Black with a dark dark charcoal might look better with some mtech2 body bits to get rid of trim and rockers.

                              Yeah I suggested red and black for this car on a diff forum, however I had the red on top and black on bottom. That car looks pretty damn wicked though.
