So, early next year I'm going to put and Accolade Hyper body-kit on my silver lancer es. I'm considering painting the new bumpers, the side skirts and the wing smoke grey, but I wonder if I should keep it all silver (either way the difuser will be either matte or semi-gloss black). So I'm asking the opinions of you guyses (and girlses). Would it look good or stupid?

 

I've seen a few people paint their body kits a different color than the rest of the car and it ends up looking like they just never got their body kit painted. If you want to do a 2-tone paint job, the two tones have to follow a single line, or flow with the body lines. Having the bumpers, sideskirts and wing painted a different color won't flow, it will just look like an unsolved jigsaw puzzle.

 

i like when the hood, roof, and truck are one and body another but other than that i hate two tone

 

that is my plan for my car without the body kit i was gonna get a cf hood and trunk then paint the top metalic black.

 

like ozlancer1 said i also thinks it looks a lil funny

the only one i seen pull it off was a white lancer with a red body kid and it had red interior looked really good but other than that looks like u bought a body kit painted and never came around to paint it the color of your car =/

 

Yeah, that's definitely not what I was going for. I always thought that unpainted kits looked cheap. I just couldn't really imagine my idea in my head and I'm not too good with photoshop. Thanks for the input.

 

Here is an example of a two tone paint job.....This was my lancer back in the day before I got rid of it I still miss that car!! Oh well....

hope this helps with waht it would look like..

 

its all about how you do the two tone, like ozlancer was sayin, it all has to blend and make sense

 

Mitsuozboi has a nice two-toned car.
