*Wake* · 03-06-2012, 11:34 PM

gearhead55 · 03-07-2012, 01:15 AM

this concept sketch:

my car currently:

and a photoshop of the two tone idea:

I honestly think that looks nice and original. Go for it imo. Dare to be different make your car unique. There are always people that will dislike your car but at the end of the day if you like it, it's really all that counts.

Thanks, yeah I am still debating on trying it or not. The main reason was because the car needs some sprucing up with the exterior, and this would be a quick way to do it as a temporary thing- just to see how it looks and then decide if I want to re-do the whole body in professional paint like this.

I think this type of two tone (dark up top, light down below) looks much better on a silvia than a fox body mustang!

coupesallday! · 03-12-2012, 08:00 PM

found it on cl..
MUST SELL 1989 NISSAN 240 SX S13!!!!!!!

gearhead55 · 03-13-2012, 10:32 AM

I asked in the coupe thread but got nothing, so I'll ask here:

Has anyone seen pictures of regular silvia front with an ITR lip? So far I've only seen them on S14s, but it must have been done on a silvia somewhere right?

I like that you have your own style. I never keep period correct badjes on my cars. Mines an 88 also and I put 2000 and up badjes on it.

*Wake* · 03-13-2012, 03:27 PM

We established a long time ago and in numerous threads that you have poor taste jason.

But please continue leading our younger constituents down the wrong path.

You have the right to your own opinion and I have grouped you into the class of one of "those guy's".
Does your car make you any $$$ ? Mine does.
But do'nt stop your rants, I do like your comic style

spray2020 · 03-13-2012, 07:57 PM

anyone on here have a photo of a tastefully modded two tone with a rocket bunny/tra kyoto 6666 duckbill?

I think if done right it could look like a factory optional spoiler.

*Wake* · 03-13-2012, 10:39 PM

My car makes me money by taking me to and from work, jackass.

Dude... what are you talking about, I don't think you know how annoying you are on every other coupe thread. Who the fuck brags about there car making money. Start acting your age.

KansaiKurisu · 03-14-2012, 12:09 PM

I saw this car at gymkhana the other day, had to get a photo. Its one of the best kitted two tones ive seen.

-hope the owner doesnt mind-
and then i think ive got my cars future figured out. Its going to hopefully look something like this

Im keeping my 15s though.

Newtypex · 03-14-2012, 01:11 PM

I still gotta paint the side skirts, rear valance, and wing but its getting there. The top is kiwi green metallica and the bottom is a black with an s tone of green pearl in it, which pics wont show.
