Default two tones and opinoins step on in...

so i have my arctic white T/A and i recently got a VFN ram air hood for it. i also have all blacked out side markers, black ceta, black calipers, black emblems, black front end covers... you get the point. the VFN hood is black and alot of people have been saying to leave it black but in a gloss black obviously as well as paint my B-pillar and rear hatch black. i also have tinted out windows and will be getting a set of black C6 rims. heres a picture of it as it sits, it will be about $200 less to paint everything black as i just discussed instead of painting the hood white and blending the fenders and bumper.

discuss.

I don't really care for the idea, I think it would look kind of thrown together. Like something happened to your car and you found a black donor car for parts. I personally think you can't beat the look at a white WS6 with a black blackbird stripe, CETA mod and some black wheels...but in the end its your car!
