Hey you say you work at Best Buy? Is that store 313? If it is, I used to work there! Ha! what a small world indeed! I left back in 99' though. I wonder how it is back there

Must be nice with all those mismatched color es's coming through! LOL

I can't really decide which is best. There are so many factors that can make the car look good either way.

hmmm...

so many body shop i stopped by..

I: why lexus made 2 tone???

B.S.: "because they couldn't match the bottom as same color as the upper one"

how ironic every body shop answered same.

i think 2 tone is very very ugly.

unless you have a car that the bottom and the top has almost same color.

Do you have pics splitfire? I actually like both 2-toned and solid- just depends on the color.
