2 tone...!

it doesnt work with just the hood black though, you would have to extend it forwards a bit.

so if you dont want to get an expensive paintjob, keep it all red.

When i saw your other thread I thought of how it would look. You should do a photoshop with the headlight area black too, I was wondering how that would look with the black hood,spoiler,and rear deck lid. That way you would have more black and it would kinda blend better. Just a thought, Id like to see it first.
