silver tibs are the hawtest! I'm not a fan of wild paintjobs, but there are some ricers on this site that will chime in with some ideas for you.

i think my fav paintjob ive seen on this site is that dude w the blue rd1.5.
its like the same sexy blue they paint the lotus, hes got a cf hood.
i like that color a lot. but otherwise i tend to favor the sleek quite colors...gunmetal for example.

he has the ixion kit...


i really like dark colors best on tibs... a really dark, pearly midnight blue would look awesome..

the color i hate the most on tibs is white, then silver is next.

i wouldn't try to do a two tone, but a nice accent paint job would look really good.. like in your front end, if you had the car color with like black accents or something.

Yes i have the silver ixion. my idea was indeed a 2-tone. but i cant find a example with just the right split line. and i never see one of them i liked,.

Ixion and 2tone wouldnt go together IMO, I'd stick with a nice darker metallic color, maybe like a deep blood red or navy blue, or even black.

really deep, dark reds look pretty good on tibs.. black would look nice, but it would need something to set it off like a pearl or something.

two tone on ixion doesn't seem like it would flow well. if you did do a two tone, i would suggest colors that flow together instead of contrast.. like (cobalt blue, navy blue) (cherry red, deep blood red) (black, midnight blue) not that those are suggestions.. just something that even with two diff. colors it would still flow together almost like one color.

definitley black and midnight blue if you two tone, that would look real good! Good idea socks.

i think this is the only two tone line a rd2 can get away with doing and look good..



the line goes right under the window line.. you can see it on the car when you look at it.. but it wont clash with the curves and itll flow all around the car.
