I've been thinking about repainting my car a different color for a while now. The two tone thread got me thinking about it again, so I did a couple photoshops. What do you guys think?






This way I could change the look of the car without repainting the whole thing. The color I would be using is a metallic charcoal color that I've used on a couple other parts of the car.

This color, on the bottom of the bumper


And I used it on the stripes on my parents car. You can see it looks almost silver in the sun, and almost black in the shade.

I like the blacked out roof with tinted windows. Looks clean.

The tint is going to be darker but theres no tint on the whole back window if you can't tell. hehe

He ran out of vinyl to cover the dot-matrix, so I'm taking it back today to get the back window done.

Should make the front windows look darker once that's done.

I am more of a fan of the bodyline up being a different color...

I too like the paint schemes where it changes at the body line. But that's a lot more work as I would have to repaint pretty much the whole car. Painting just the roof would be easy. I could probably have it done in one weekend.

Just for fun I'll do a another chop later when I get time.

i think if your going to do it, it should be from the body line up.

Typically I like it from the body line up, but on your car I think I prefer just the top... It must have something to do with your aftermarket hood and spoiler keeping it from looking too boring with ony the top done.

Just the roof looks killer, plus everyone and there brother is doing the bodyline two tone. Doing just the roof will seperate you from the jones's

I like it either way on the 94-98, but I only like just the roof on 99-04. I like yours with just the roof painted though.

You still have the one of a kind look rockin a carbon fiber hood. Ive yet to see another mustang in person with a CF hood... Im not saying they arent out there, but its not common around me at least on our SN's.

Yeah, you have a different hood, spoiler, front and rear bumpers, headlights, and rims. Our cars look completely different, other than the color. And I won't be painting my roof black like yours, it's a dark metallic silver/charcoal color.


I think I'm going to go ahead and do this sometime early next year.
