So it's coming time to start on the exterior again. If you haven't seen my new color of green, here it is : . Now what I was thinking Was either a sick 2-tone, straight black with some of the candy green in the clear coat, maybe all that green color with a CF spoiler, CF hood, & CF splitters all around... What do you all think? Also does any one know about the lambo doors from evofusion, their "gullwing" doors, they seem to go up further then any of the other kits including VDI and theyre cheaper and claim to be direct bolt on.

i would say keep it one color. that whole two-tone multicolor thing is big in american cars but you should keep an import nice and clean.

i would do your idea of keeping your car black and going the green in the clear. the other idea of doing the whole car in that green wouldnt be bad but you would definatly have to go with CF spoiler and hood and accents. but i do like the green so keep up the good work.

I would go with the black with green in the clear coat, or maybe black with that green going in a stripe ( or a double stripe) from the front bumper over the roof to the back bumper. By the way what kind of paint did you use for your dash?

I used regular auto paint, a liquid silver metallic base coat, and then alsa's candy lime green concentrate as an intercoat and then clear... The thing I was thinking about if it was all black was that the car would be almost invisible because the rims are black too.

Yea definitley not stripes... I think I'm leaning more twards the green, with carbon fiber hood, spoiler and splitters at the bottom if i can find a decent set w. shaved handles if i pick up a new set of doors... Because the green is a nice deep color and I'd like to get some carbon on it... And the black would look clean and stealthy BUT since I'm building it for just show, I need it to break necks, not go unnoticed.
