Looks good, but idk about that black theme. It doesnt flow that well.

Re: Rate the ride

Gonna have the wheel spokes painted to match, gloss black. Wanted the entire top of the car to match the t-tops and had to have the ram air hood painted anyway. It was better then blending it to match.

Re: Rate the ride

think the wheels should be painted black definatly and have the hood painted silver to match the body, and just acccent the hood wit some black. like around the ram air opening

Re: Rate the ride

The silver isn't in that good of condition, gonna eventually have all the silver repainted. I like the hood and the top of the car black, it's different. The hood used to be red w/white rally stripes, that came to a point at the middle of the snorkles, anniversary-ish on a red car. Thanks for the input tho! Post more when the wheels are done.

Re: Rate the ride

You got the flow right with the back, painting the top part black, but the front doesn't work too well. If you're set on keeping the hood black, you might want to carry the curve along the body line onto the front bumper and have the black that way. The problem with having the hood black and everything around it silver is that it looks like you went to the junkyard and could only find a black hood. Carry the black onto the front bumper and it will look like you did it on purpose.

Re: Rate the ride

I'm just joshin ya. It looks like the only reason you painted the hatch black is because you didnt want to paint your hood. If you want to go with the two-tone, I would extend the black down onto the nose a bit.

Re: Rate the ride

yea i would definently try and paint the nose black, that would look sooo raw

I agree. Looks like the rest of the paint flows from the spoiler to the hood, but then the black abruptly ends at the nose. Maybe try to blend the nose a bit better.

Not bad though.:tup:

Re: Rate the ride

I felt the same way since I had it done. Gonna have the nose painted when I have the wheels done. Thanks for the input ALL!

It reminds me of James 12sec. V6.

Yeah, I think it will look cool with black wheels. And a black tail light.
