Need opinions on paint scheme-going two-tone
I have done a couple of different set-ups in photoshop, and cain't decide which lines to follow near the front headlights, fender, and bumper. I am eventually going to get a carbon fiber hood and trunk, but for now everything will be painted black. I think the set-up which includes painting the top portion of the bumper shows of the grill.
FYI, the headlights are not going to be blacked out
I am keeping the grill
and yes, I am keeping the rims (for now anyways)
so what is everyones opinions? Which set up looks the cleanest?

I want to keep the silver, cause I just love that color. I am thinking black because of the hood and trunk I will be getting later. What would really be cool but very expensive would be to have the black airbrushed to look like carbon fiber!

Also, im thinking of following the line that runs 1/3rd down the doors, across the fender and rear quarter panel. yours runs along the top of the door, I caint decide what I like better.

i think the 3 chops you have posted are too much black. how about the hood, trunk, roof and pillars?? maybe the grill too.

What does everyone think about this layout?
I have removed the front license plate as well. It is illegal in NH, but I am thinking of trying it. If they give me a hard time I can always attach it to the grill.

Yeah no contest, the more silver on the body looks the best, limit the black to the roof, trunk lid and hood...

i would limit the black to the trunk, roof and hood, keeping the eyelids and then painting the grill as well. that line on the side of the car is hard to match well with the paint; it seems a little awkward. i must agree with everyone else who said just the trunk, roof and hood. black rims would look nice too, just try and trade/sell yours.
