TechCam could you do one with black hatch, black rear bumper, black sail and he will also have a black hood when he gets it, and leave the quarter, door and fender and front bumper, I wanna see how it looks

TechCam, could you do a version of this where instead of the black sloping to the bottom of the fender the arc coming from the sail panel goes into the door crease and runs forward to wrap the front bumper like in the second pic. I'll do a sketch with paint real quick to show what I'm trying to say.
edit: here is the quick and dirty paint sketch.

^^^^^^^^^ basically, but I would try to blend it into the crease line of the door further back, which would mean reworking the curve some more.
Sorry for the long response times, we had a storm the other night that knocked out the internet at the rental property across the street from my house and so I don't have internet at the house (I bum my connection off there unsecured wifi).
Edit: I kinda like this one but I think once the hood is added in (arrived today,had it shipped to my dads work to avoid the 45 dollar surcharge for residential delivery but his truck is still in the shop so I don't have a way to get it to the house just yet, we are working on that), honestly I'm still leaning toward my original concept of the mopar stripe but I think the angle on the top of it needs to be closer to matching the angle of the wing on the hatch and the bottom needs to be adjusted to be the mirror image of the top angle closer to this.
Is there anyway to make the black look more like how plasti-dip looks with your photo-shop skills?

update:
Managed to carve out some time before work a couple days this week and have gotten part of the way there, everything needs another coat to level it out good and I went ahead and covered the rear quarters from the front of the hatch back since every scheme has that area blacked out.
hood will go on this weekend.

Finally got around to getting the hood on this weekend, still have to fix some bumper/headlight/fender alignment issues that mostly come from when I hit that deer a few months back but the gaps are within like a 1/4 to 3/8ths of an inch so they are within the adjusting slots once I get the fender brackets straight. I am very much considering keeping the hood black when I get the car painted down the road.
so without further waiting, here are the installed pics and something I've seen asked for but never given before and afters from inside the car to show how high it sits compared to a flat stock hood.
couple of things for those wanting to know for reference, at night with the headlights up I can't see the passenger headlight lid at all no matter how far forward I lean and when sitting normally I don't see the driver headlight lid, but if I lean forward I can.
side question, can anyone give a way to remove some tape residue from the hood without damaging the gel coat?

Actually, the WHOLE POINT of this thread is to use plasti-dip to take the car from being 4 different colors and take it down to a thought out 2-tone.
trying to avoid having a car like pictured there was my key reason for the plasti-dip coverup idea to start with.

Well guys, I know it been 4 months but I finally got back around to this and here are the pics, most of the dip is from 4 months ago, I just brought it forward onto the doors today, Excuse the dirty car, I only wiped down the area I was spraying.
