It gives the car alot more character and compliments the wheels nicely. You don't see too many with two tone black/silver. I'm sure you will be more than happy with whatever you choose.

Thanks for the comments guys! I know your thinking the paint looke pretty good already, but the truth is the front end is cracking & needs to be stripped & redone & the spoiler is faded along w/ the rear bumper peeling..I just figured I get the whole car repainted than just sections of the car.

I agree with the others. Keep the same scheme. And the car looks great btw. Post pics of the finished product.

ah, another fellow SC owner with GFX. I'm getting mine painted next month and it'll be all black. I personally don't like the two-tone look, but that's just me.

don't get me wrong...the black and silver combo look great, but I'm leaning towards all black. Being all black...your wheels would really give your car the attention. The silver on the bottom kind of directs the attention away. All black just looks freakin mean.....especially with a set of big polished wheels like you have
