Default Paint Scheme Ideas

I have a silver 03' GT, and was thinking about ways to make it look different. What do some of you think about this idea: Silver and black two-tone, black on top, silver on bottom. Get a carbon fiber Cobra R hood and leave it unpainted. Then get black terminator or saleen wheels, tint the windows, and lower it. What do y'all think?

get someone in chop shop to chop it all up for you so we can see your creation better. personally im not a big fan of 2 tone unless its that black and orange sn95 that just looked hot.

Two tone paint can be dangerous.You want an added color to augment the existing paint not to overpower it.Not painting any body part,carbon fiber or otherwise looks "ricey" and unfinished.

I actually got that idea from Code. He wants to do that to his wifes car. How come none of you spoke up to him?

And I would only do the carbon fiber unpaited if it was against black paint, so it looks black at first. I will put up chopped pictures if anyone does it in the chop shop.

Didn't see the post.
Like I said "it CAN be dangerous".You can get away with it if you watch what you're doing.It's a matter of not overdoing the paint job.I've seen good examples and bad.

not all carbon fiber is of the woven pattern. Personally, I would like to see more of the amorphous "pattern" like this:
