RE: Paint it black

You think that would look good with the black top? I really dig alloy, and if they had one when I bought this car, that was what I wanted. (since they don't make mineral grey anymore) Was that a show at the baltimore convention center? If so, what show was it? Maybe I'll head out there sometime since its only about an hour and some change drive from me. I'll see if I can dig up a two-tone redfire/alloy online.

The car show was only there for about 5 days, (I think it was the International Auto Show)so no luck seeing that car again. It has to be a local car though so maybe someone on here has some info on it. I remember it had 20"black wheels. Can't remember much else though, but the paint job really stood out.
Anyway I vote for Alloy instead of black because with Alloy you get dark colors, medium colors, and highlights. With black (white too) you get very little contrast....mainly just reflections.

Alloy and black...eh I wouldn't do that, but it might work. I meant like the picture of the Redfire Roush above but with Alloy on top instead of black.

AGh. I need to get a light bar too, they look awesome.. I'm going to have to work a lot of overtime for this car.... does roush paint the crease in the middle of the two-tone or is that the reflection of the light? It's kinda hard to tell but it looks like it's painted. it makes me sad that 2008 has to be the year of performance mods, cause I really dig this two-tone now.

I think that crease is actually a white pin stripe.

This is the hood I think I am going to get.

I meant the black vert top. If I use anything other than black, it'll basically be a 3-tone instead of a 2-tone since I'm a vert

Find me a picture of a convertible Alloy and I will try to photoshop it for you.
