Regarding the other dudes two tone...Yeah, something like that....

Should I take the paint all the way to the bottom of the bumper or end it just under the grill? Also wondering if I should have some sort of carbon fiber type pattern/look created as part of the paint job. Also wondering if there is a more creative color combo then just black and rrp

I've heard really good things about the "critical mass" subs he has....and is that a ATLP exhaust? Looks good

Love the picture you did...fricken awesome

Thanks man Definitely gives me something to think about

I'll get a quote from my paint guy on monday...any guesses on how much? He's really good with color suggestions too...I'll see what he thinks. I'll print your mock up so he knows what I'm talking about.

No, I'm not a real big fan of that car

The one I'm thinking of was at the Ron Jon meet last summer, if I remember right. It was silver with a black upper half...haven't seen anything else like it since and haven't been able to find the post....I'll look around for it a little more tomorrow

Mike, after seeing it I like it a lot. From hearing the description, I was thinking , "Nooooooooo".
I gotta say, if you can come up with a secondary color that compliments the RRP, it will look sweet.

It actually reminds me of something Chip Foose would do. If you watch Overhaulin' you know what I mean.

yea, pics are better than a thousand words. definitely it was a "no-no" as you described it in words, but after seeing those pics..... it looks really good!!!!

and just make sure you pick the right color to comply with RRP, your ride will be really sexy and stand out.

i changed my mind now, i vote for your version of two tone

That's the one You are the man

Yeah the color combo is going to be key...I may have to go with a lighter tone on top for more contrast...we'll see what my guy suggests I'm leaning more toward this vs. the "bugatti" look....

I have a pin stripe on my car now, I like it....different generation, I wouldn't do is as thick or bold as his though. I am leaning towards a liquid graphite silver for the contrasting color. I'll see what my guy JP suggests

Extend the red color on top down the sides to the door handles, and in the front it should cross up the fenfers just in front of the wheels- coming to a point at the bottem of the the grill. The lower color carbor graphite whatever- call it- looks like road surface- maintaining at least a small part of ChicoOGs stealth setup

It gives the impression of a car a few feet tall, floating on air-
used on some ferrari's from the late 80s

Actually, the RRP will remain the primary/bottom half color with the color matched headlights, etc.......whatever contrasting color will cover the top portions of the car....
