Default 2 tone SC430?

Since the body lines of the SC430 is so distinct, like the large shelf/seperation from the body to the window. and the significant crease from the front to the rear. (you can really see this from the top view almost boat like shaped) I was wondering if anyone has considered painting their car a 2 tone. Maybe classic toyota/lexus style with a grey body and a white top area etc or gold with white? Or more extreme like a red body and white top etc. There are so many ways you can 2 tone this car since there are so many cuts from the body to the window etc.

Has anyone seen a 2 tone one? What are your thoughts? I was thinking Foose design classic style.

I have considered doing a Two tone:

Top: Black Cherry
Pinstripe Divider: Chrome or Silver
Bottom: Black Onyx

Similar to the CART Pace Car.

Though the Pace Car two-tone is an extreme example and is ment to be noticed on the track, I think what you have considered doing will look incredible. It won't be over the top and IMO would look good with what you have so far. The key is to have the right color combination for this car (or any car).

They're an abomination IMO, especially on that car.
