Two-tone TLs

I was on vacation to Taiwan and I saw a bunch of cars (mostly taxis) that were two-tone in color. The top would be a color (like yellow) while the bottom parts (front/rear bumper, side skirts) would be in another color (white, black, silver, graphite). It looked pretty decent especially the yellow/white combo.

It got me to wondering whether a TL would look decent like this. Maybe with a different colored A-spec kit. Anyone with any photoshop skills can put a black/carbon kit on a WDP TL?

No offense to any of the guys who have two toned, but I don't think it flows with our body styles. It just doesn't look rite to me.

I don't quite mean those kinds of two-tones...

I mean having only the bumpers and sideskirts a different color.

You know how on WDP and ABP TLs the bumpers are a shade different? Well what if they were completely different. Like Black. Or what about an A-Spec kit in a different color... I think that would look good but someone needs to photoshop this.
