Default Tell me this aint sexy (monotone LS)

I placed a pic in the photoshop forum and asked could someone paint my bottom black. Well look at the diff and tell me what you all think.

This is the work of Seize who also lowered it some more.

2-tone is sure a thing of the past.

Hey another monotone club member! Me too Although I'm not posting a bunch of pics until I get some wheels on the car and get the exhaust aligned with the bumper.

Silverflare is the charter member that I know of (silver LS)...Brian S recently did it on his black LS there may be more I'm not aware of.

I actually like the two tone on the black/grey LS a whole lot better than on the family color gold / brown LS I have. Looks good either way IMO

Now the questions you should be asking yourself is: "What am I waiting for?" haha

I think the car looks good either way. I don't think 2-tone is outdated, a lot of aftermarket paint jobs are multicolored. People seek to change the mono factory look quite often. So change if you want but it's not old, outdated or anything negative. Modders just like changing things. It will look good either way, not better just different.

Hey, different strokes for different folks..

I do like the simple conservative cars, but have a deep liking with the
VIP styled ones may it be EXE style or the Extreme fender flare style.
