I like the idea of the black mirrors.you might do the rear lower part of the bumper also to finish the look.I got a red 97 ws6 ive thought about doin the black accents my self only i would do the raised part of the hood instead of the whole hood.Whats up with that front fender?

I just don't know about the whole "hood another color" theme. I'm not hating at all, I admire you for trying something. I just think in order to pull it off you have to incorporate more color changes without crossing that fine line of 'being too much'.

Besides the wing, mirrors, and sail panel, you could do the top of the bumper cover too for the complete two tone.

I would rather see the mirrors painted black on a T/A rather than a Camaro because the fenders doesn't flow into the mirror on a T/A like they do on a Camaro. Just my $0.02 though.

I was personally going to do the mirrors, sail panel, and the bottom of the spoiler, but after seeing that one I'm having second thoughts. lol

The only thing about painting the top is making sure you also paint that little piece of the body that flows with the spoiler right underneath the sail panel.
