Default Need input on paint job!

OK! My car's almost prepped for paint, and I REALLY need to decide on a paint scheme for it, so far I've come up with 3, and just thought of another today that I think may look better than the others. That is not my car in the pictures, but is the same scarlet red colour as it. I ordered a Mach 2 hood for it, smoked foglights and black headlights and my car has 03 GT Centennial Bullit wheels on it and it has black interior, those are the only differences between them. Also thinking of getting them to put pearl in the paint.

OK Here we go, as many opinions as possible would be great! or other suggestions would be great as well!

(It's black btw... It's hard to get all the glare properly when changing colours in Photoshop so I had to keep it a bit lighter than black)

Option #1:


Option #2:


Option #3:


Thanks guys!

There is a fairly lengthy post at the Corral concerning twotone paint schemes. Here are a few shots from it. I personally like #1 in your post. The fox bodies have a relatively high body line and the split would need to follow that.






Just because......If I had a 99-04 stang, this would abolutely be the paint scheme on it! This is just badass!

#1 looks much better than the other 2. I would definately go with the first color scheme
