Graphics, sort of

I am going to repaint my car, the thing is I am thinking about "ghosting" the top half. By that I mean doing everything above the doors in black ("A" pillars and windsheild reveal, and possibly the "B" pillars and targa bar). It is a T-top car with tinted windows and rear window louvers. If anybody knows of a site that I can download a pic. and use my photo program to try various paint schemes I would appreciate it.

The one in the picture looks good (just the black A-pilars) If you painted the b-pillars (sail panels?) to me it'd just look like a ghetto vinyl top wannabe looking thing...

Theres a '00 GT around here with something similar to that except the entire top of the car is black starting from about 2in. below the top of the fenders and doors. Looks pretty good too.
