    Need your opinions.....

    It has been running through my mind for quite some time now that I might like to two-tone my car. Doing so would require me to remove the vinyl, since the whole car has to be clear coated.

    I love my vinyl. I know a lot of people don't because hey, it's vinyl. But, I need some opinions (thanks to Tek for helping me on this, and quickly I might add....

    How my car is now:



    What I am considering doing. Keep the bottom silver, and do the top in a metallic blue (the roof would be blue as well, Tek didn't dothat very small spot). It would be a high metallic silver, very shiny (large flake) :

                both are original, not a fan of vinyls or suede, but you made both look sweet..

                i like the paint better, the photoshop i dont think does justice to the paint job that would be done..

                if it were my car i would leave it just cause of the money to paint.. put that into the turbo you had been thinking about [img]{SMILIES_PATH}/biggrin.gif[/img]

                      i kinda like that idea

                      from top to bottom

                      blue
                      silver
                      blue again

                      other than that i would like to see it flipped with blue on top. i know its a photoshop but it still dosn't look right

                      its my opinion and not my car

Pressures and stresses of all kinds thermal and mechanical loading across the board escalate to extreme levels. A Chevrolet 5.7-liter LS1 V8 with this much specific power (horsepower per cubic inch) would be making 2,137 hp

                            blue seems like a heavier color than grey so it should sink to the bottom sorta like water and oil [img]{SMILIES_PATH}/wink.gif[/img]

                            just kidding, cant wait to see what you decide

                              It's not grey, its bright silver. Tek made the photo black and white apparently.
