i think it will only work if you do the wheels like you said. Don't 'murder it out', like all flat black. that look is supah played out.

what if you were to do a 2tone similar to lexus_kid's only instead of light/dark red you did a gloss black with the flat black 2tone?

Please don't black out the Streifens. Leave them diamond cut.

If you flat black it.. be sure you got something under the hood to back it up. The paint job might look too fast for the 2GS.
