Need opinions on this Photo Shop I had done.

I'm having paint issue with the roof of my car. A complete repaint of the car is out of the question, the past 2 weeks I've worked 5 1/2 days so no can do. A long term solution would be to paint the coupe part and completely change the look of the car at the same time. So tell me what you think of this paint scheme (the side view mirror would be painted as well). Thanks.

im not digging the black top

BrandoGT · Jan 11, 2009

yeah me neither

Do it!

Yeah the real picture looks better then the photo shopped one but I don't know if the white rims are maybe throwing it off.

I think the white wheels are killing it, if you had something else it would look a lot better.

eliyarbrough · Jan 11, 2009

I like it!! I'd say kill is a strong word though. I think it does not look that bad. Go for it!!

you need supporting mods to do it. This is something I have planned to do this year.

You can't expect the black roof to look good without a drop and nice spoiler. Besides the black tails are throwing it off for me. Here's a chop of my car, as you can see the hood paint flows with the black roof. Black spoiler isn't staying though, it's just an unpainted S281...

You need the supporting mods my friend, you currently just don't have them.

Id say go for it, a few things would deff make it better thats wheels and smoked headlights but those are easy to change right. I think black wheels with a chome lip would look awesome with the black top.

ps: where have u been!?

all white car with white wheels, the black roof doesn't flow that well.

that's my impression anyway.

if you do it, paint the cowl in front of the windshield as well when the mirrors are done. The small subtle things like that are what people notice. But be careful...they are very fragile, lol.

You don't need to post on the internet whether it looks good or not - it's your cash and your car - you need to look at the chop yourself and decide whether you like it or not.

That being said, I never liked the two tone on these cars.

Well the stock wing is not staying and I have Steeda Ultralite springs and just haven't had the time to install them (been over 2 yrs). Also a Mach1 Chin spoiler may be added. Roam wasn't built in a day and my car is no exception.

No but it's a good way to get idea's from others I may have not though of before.

ps: where have u been!?

I've been doing the detail thing since I can make small purchases instead of 500+ on style/performance parts. Since work has slooooowed down I have more time on my hands to start fixing and upgrading things.

I understand man, I was just saying that you can't expect it to look incredible without the mods to support it. In your case, hell yes I would do it and actively save up the money or the time in your case, to be able to get it to look incredible.

Well something has to be done about the roof as the paint is chipping off and increasing in size. Repainting it white will look worse to me since it will be well whiter the the rest of the car. I removed my smoked head light for 3 reasons, 1st I get off of work after 11pm so my night vision really sucked. 2nd they peeled pretty bad and looked nasty (to me) even after I wet sanded them and buffed them out. 3rd mold started growing in the inside on the reflector which decreased my vision at night even more and one head like was dimmer then the other.

Do it.

If you want, you can do the top section of the hood too, but I think it looks damn good either way.

Do it and paint the cowl as well.

Buy some BOI headlights or Black housing headlights and get some HID's and your visibility will be incredible.

I think it'll look good just gotta find some time to start installing the parts you said you had
