Lightbulb 2 Tone?

Hey everyone im new on here so if im doing anything wrong please help me out and i apologize in advance.. i was thinking about getting a two toned paint job on a TL.. im gonna be purchasing the car in probly a month, so im not set on a specific color yet! please give me some examples or photoshop something for mee.

i have seen the one on the ronjon website, i like it.. BUT i feel that it doesnt really stand out too much and the silver line doesnt really look to good, and it doesnt blend to well because they just have the line seperating it.. just my 2 cents about it.. and if anyone knows what color the top is that would help, i know the bottom is anthricite!

here is a link to the ronjon one if any of you guys havent seen it yet!

and its Number #62


Thanks everyone, mikee

Pick a unique single color if you're going to repaint the car. Two tone is kinda...eh. The top color of that car is NBP...I think. Either way, congrats on the potential TL purchase.

I mainly Just want to do cosmetic Changes to this car.. money is no issure ( within reason ).. can anyone explain the diifrences between Tein SS Coilvocers and Tein S techs lowering springs. i know coilcovers is smoother but i want to know if the S-Techs can be dropped just as much? and if i slam it real low would that help with the stiff steering ( which i want )

thanks again everyone

What about doing a flat black or one of those satin finishes? If you have Type-S wheels with flat black I think that'd look pretty cool. Takes the right car to pull it off but the TL might work.

I wouldn't suggest the 2 tone of a similar color-very ricey.

Best option is a silver TL with black down the middle (ie: hood, roof, etc).

That car is my boy Billy's. Unless you work at a body shop like he does, or you have a lot of money to spend I'd save your money for something better.

I vote, no to a two-tone or even non-stock color. It is a huge hit or miss. Spend the $$ on other mods.
