pics - 2-tone paint job - mmmm

Rarely seen, but I love the 2-tone paint job cars.

I wish Dark Red had been an OEM color.

The best part is it's not a turbo. Most people would argue that the t2 hood is rice on a na car because it is non-functional, but in this case it's functional. The scoop is functional.....it is there for the knight rider lights...lol...dunnuh dunnuh dunnuh dunuh dunuh...

Um the paint is ok but the rest is a bit past the line I draw for rice. Specially the LED's on the TII hood. Both should be thrown out IMO.

Clean that thing up and don't make it so distastefull and it should be good to go.

geez flamers..... Give the man credit for the work he put into it. everything takes time.
I don't personally care for rice burners but some of the body work they do is fairly sweet.. and I'm amazed at their skill... some of it does look stupid, but some of it requires an immense amount of skill that I don't possess.

what are you talking about 2 tone????

That's a 4 tone!!!!

Red Black BLUE and GREY!!!!

Very Very Very nasty.

Come one now. If you have a red and black car you don't paint the engine bay BLUE!!! and you never add a TII hood to an NA and then put LED's! in the scoop!

BLEH!

I like the main red\black scheme, other than that...possibly a bit too far, but the other gives it a bit of an 80's spec look. so as long as you're drifting the FC, its all good

The two tone paint really dates the car and makes it look old.

WHITE LETTERED TIRES? Grey under the door? Overall I'd say it looks like sh@t and I wouldn't be caught dead in that thing. But that's just me.

Ha, the very first reply took the words out of my mouth, literally, that's exactly what I sadi as I saw the pictures come up.

It wouldn't be so bad if it was just the balck on the bottom, not grey, and NOT the headlights painted as well.
Still, I'd rather it be primer maroon grey over that.

I like the two tone. But you really have to have pastel colors when you do it. the flat red and flat black are teh Sux.

I'm sure the next pic will be of an S5 with the Starsky and Hutch Stripe.

IMHO I think its rice.

I was thinking of putting red led's in the very top of the hood scoop and then having a license plate "nitrotor".... haha. I actually did think about doing it just to be funny, but i don't care enough to actually do it.
