Anyone have any 2 tone Sil-80 pics?? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Does anyone have any pics from the side or rear of a 2 tone Sil-Eighty?? (not the S15 front either).

thanks,

-M

interesting request.. It would have to be custom...

dstyle · 08-18-2003, 10:51 PM

hmm... ive only seen one on the road before. they are very rare. i think it was the tan/brown color for the silvia.

mbmbmb23 · 08-19-2003, 12:27 AM

Reason I'm asking is because I LOVE 2 tone paint schemes....but only on the S13 Silvia. For some reason the 180sx's lines just can't pull it off. I was just curious to see one, because it may not look THAT bad if it has some straight sideskirts and rear under bumper (PDM style).....but I was just wondering what people do to the rear bumper with the 2 tones.

I already have the champagne gold on my 93 hatch...and I was thinking that if I did a Silvia front end conversion I could go with the 2 tone scheme of champagne gold+gunmetal seen in the pic below (but with non projectors)....that way I wouldnt have to get the whole car repainted, just parts of it.

i guess with the right aerokit and everything, it would come out pretty coool. you would prolly be the only one sportin it on the streets. man too bad i didnt have my camera.

I was originally going to paint my sileighty the 2-tone lime green and gunmetal scheme of the Silvia, but after much decision making I decided to go with Nissan 350Z redline. Even though my car is a "common" color, I have never seen another red one in person, and only one on the net. But I also have the advantage of living in the midwest, so I don't have to work very hard to have something unique, unlike all you guys in the LA area.
When I lived in LA for my internship, here are the Sileighty's I spotted:
Blue Sileighty, wingless, kouki taillights- On the street, Industry
2 White Sileighties, Cartune motorsport's shop
Silver Sileighty (Driftspeed's shop car)- driftmeet at Fontana
Black Sileighty (Benson Hsu's) driftmeet at Fontana
Orange Sileighty and Sileighty truck conversion driftmeet at Fontana

We had a thread last month that discussed 2 tone paint that might be of some merit. Good luck.

You both mean "Silver Green." I know this is correct cus that's my car's ORIGINAL color.

*Yuri* · 09-11-2003, 03:24 PM

Yeah, silver green.
wtf was I thinking calling it lime?

When I was in CA this summer, I saw a stock S13 coupe painted the nasty creamish yellow and gunmetal. Please no one paint their car this color scheme.

TheTimanator · 09-11-2003, 03:49 PM

You saw a yellow two-tone? Those are pretty rare, assuming it was stock. I've only seen one on these boards and it was for sale.

Never seen one in real life.

ruf · 09-11-2003, 04:07 PM

I've seen one. Pretty interesting.

KiDyNomiTe · 09-11-2003, 04:10 PM

timinator - I saw one while I was in Orlando for like 2 weeks.

There was one on ebay with the soft top thingy about a month ago, and then saw either the same one in person or a diff one. (It was sold in my area)

two tone fastback, now imagine silvia front

i've seen ONE s13 in yellow/brown two tone. It looked SOOOOOO nice. But the guy had cheap blingy wheel covers, but it was purdy. :
