Default paint idea's

just looking for some input i finally got my TA hatch that i have been trying to get for a while now i just need to get my ram-air hood, anyway what im thinking about doing is a little bit of 2-tone with the stock green color i have and black
1. paint the high rise portion of the hatch black
2. ceta bumper painted black
3. side view mirrors black
4. ram air hood- either put black on the sides of the vertical parts of the hood or on the top of the hood
5. paint the portion of the car that goes over the top inbetween the hatch and t-tops black
6. get my current wheels powdercoated black on the spokes and keep the polished lip

everything else will be the stock green, how do you guys think that would look

if that would not work it will stay the stock green with some black on the hood and the ceta paint on the bumper with black

why are you gonna keep it green? If you love that color, I would paint everything green and painth the raised ws6 part black, like the manta for the SS... that would look pretty cool. Maybe someone can photo shop you a pic

this green has really grown on me since i got the car, i had gunmetal zr-1's on it for a while and i found a few pics of my color car with black wheels and i think black goes really well with the green of my car, thats why im looking at the 2-tone looking to do something a little different and want to see what some other people thought cause i can see it in my head but sometimes that can be a little skewed, thats why im asking if anybody thinks that could look good with the things painted black i have listed and everything else green or if that was just me

got some input from some other forums that i am on and the more i think about it, i think the best way to do it is going to be doing a the hood with some black, the ceta bumper and the wheels and leave everything else green

also you should get some smoked corner lights to tie it all in. JMO

get the clear ones so it will be a true shade of gray or whatever instead of dark orange. does that make sense?
