I really don't understand what is so hard about posting factory two-tones here? Everyone posts their homemade rattlecan cars and then gets butthurt when they get flamed.

Also, cream yellow > all.

Bluejayde · 09-29-2010, 07:10 PM

It's not OEM, so I won't post pictures, but you guys need to see this-

Farm of minds: Drift 240

Wake · 09-29-2010, 09:35 PM

its pretty cool, its kind of a take off on the JDM white/champagne 2 tone but the white is whiter and the champagne is darker.

Overall I think its pretty cool. But the interior gives me motion sickness.

Okinawandrifter87 · 09-30-2010, 05:25 AM

Not gonna lie I think it is pretty cool as well trying the JDM 2 tone there, but like Wake said the interior and wheels is the place where he fails. But it still is nice though.

I would say it deserves to be posted in here so I will do it.
Its a good example of how you can do something 98% right and still fail. Im too much of a purist to throw a chevy V8 in my nissan (personally woulda gone VH/VK) but aesthetically its pretty on point. Im not sure about the bright white top tho, I think I like the pearl white better.
In addition, the body kit does not flow whatsoever, he either needs different sides or a more aggressive front and rear. Like a Bomex rear valance or something would look great.
I really like the headlights and plan on doing the same and I like the fact that he painted the interior 2tone as well.

Flicktitty · 09-30-2010, 06:08 PM

that car would look much better with differant wheels.

allntrlundrgrnd · 09-30-2010, 06:12 PM

^ Seriously, all that awesomness on diamond racing steelies

xBtony · 10-01-2010, 12:35 AM

that car is super sexy...other then ^^ lol. (and it needs the rear bumper lol)

nisco · 10-01-2010, 01:13 AM

I know the picture looks crappy but bare with it lol
Found this in an old phone of mine today

and a few pics of my old seafoam coupe when I first got it.

Then before I sold it

!Zar! · 10-01-2010, 01:52 AM

I don't think there is anything wrong with DR steelies, I personally think they look good on a car with pop-ups and nice flares. I wouldn't of used them though on that car with the over fenders and the instant gentlemen kit on the front though.

Okinawandrifter87 · 10-01-2010, 07:12 AM

They're gay esp when you spend all that money on your car and cheap out on wheels..should have finished big.. its like going all night long to just not finish and go limp.. should have gone big or go home..anyways back to topic. More 2 tones!

why does it have to be about cheaping out? Why can't that just be his style preference? Personally, I think deep steelies look good on a lot of cars, regardless of how much they cost.

they make it look like it belongs in NASCAR

Wake · 10-01-2010, 01:35 PM

I think they look good on some cars. but not that one.

holemilk00 · 10-01-2010, 09:22 PM

More progress on the car, baby steps.

And now this......

Still a work in progress, going to paint in a few weeks, back stock colors of course. And please ignore the 4x4 status, I had to drive it a good distance and Michigan roads suck.

Wake · 10-01-2010, 10:58 PM

I think 2tones look sooooooooooooo much better with OEM aero.

+ million invisi reps for you.

shinhed · 10-02-2010, 04:15 AM

I think every 240 looks better with oem aero or none at all.

YESS THANK YOU. they look like space ships with aero, having a stock clean car with little to no aero is awesome.

Another car stuck in the 80's.

LOL! At first I didn't even notice it was white until I read your post instead of skimming and looking at the pictures.
I think it just needs a full Instant Gentleman kit or just rear valances and it would be perfect!

Actually I think it is way better because of the wheel choice

INVSBL · 10-02-2010, 07:05 PM

This thread has done a great job of making me love a 2 tone sil, and i own a genuine kouki :S

couple of my pics of the australian 2 tone thats been thrown up here a couple times,

Wake · 10-02-2010, 09:35 PM

OMG there is a heaven! and it has sexy S-cars.

That is seriously immaculate. There are very few cars that I can say have a build style I appreciate, but every aspect of that car is on point.

Fuck it, Im moving to austrailia.

!Zar! · 10-03-2010, 01:54 AM

Toss some rear valances on that thing. It would really help tie it together.

JZ33 · 10-03-2010, 10:41 AM

these are all beautiful! i know they are rare but how did it take you guys to find one? im looking to get one...

shinhed · 10-03-2010, 11:59 AM

If were craving a 2-tone so much, I'd just get a regular coupe and copy the scheme. No need to sweat its originality. This ain't Barrett Jackson, baby! Whoooooh!

fightinchunk · 10-03-2010, 04:58 PM
