It'll look stupid. Paint the roof black and get a C/F hood and trunk if you really want the look. Painting the hood and trunk black will make you a poser (trying to get the C/F look.

Two-Tone has been a huge trend on the older muscle scene of late. (like the last 2-3 years)

I like it. It looks clean, and it breaks up the body so it's not just a solid blob.

Do the math jack *** that's only $800 more than I quoted, assuming you pay the prices you quoted. Don't get angry cause you painted your car stupid colors.

That looks pretty nice but the a pillars don't flow with the design on the hood. Reminds me of my 2G talon.

I like the two tone. Just do some photoshop of it first to see what lines, route you want to go with the hood! Looks Nice!
