Well, the time is almost on me to get my new silvia front end. Since I'll be repainting the front end, I'm deciding if I wanna go ahead and two tone the car like in the photochop. Just an idea. I figure since the car will already be in the shop for painting the nose, I might as well get that done too.



what do you guys think?

Yeah, it's official. If you get an S13 front end and then go two-tone, I will arrange for your death and the 'vert shall be mine!And I think better can be done than White/Gray. Play around some more. ;)

After some 30 second Photoshopping, possibly White/Black? Light Gray/Black? With some black wheels and polished lip? :D

I'm keeping the white. It's too much money to get the car repainted completely. I wanna go with another neutral color on the second tone, hence the grey. it complements the white really well and i'm a sucker for gunmetal grey. hehe

2 charcoal grey stripes (Viper-style) would look clean.

I've always wondered what the droptop would look like in white?

i think it would be too much white. ASC only did black tops though. Even the black verts had a black top. Go figure

I had a friend with a 91 Stang LX 5.0 convertible, white with a white top and white interior, white BBS mesh rims with a polished lip... Looked sweet.

Then again, that was in the early 90's... :)

Just repaint the entire car with a Pearl White like on the G35, with the s15 conversion, and some black w/chrome lip wheels.. yum.

White with Gray looks pretty clean.. I bet it will only look better after the front end conversion.
