Re: two tone or not?

Either leave it as is, or go 2 rone and get rid of the striping. I like the look now, but if you wanna go 2 tone I'd get rid of the stripes.

Re: two tone or not?

I agree with a solid color and personally I would paint the headlight pockets black. The orange stripe stands out too much and takes away from the car.

Re: two tone or not?

thanks, I'm in the process if painting the sockets. I do tend to agree the two tow with the red stripe is too much, Im wondering if it would be cool if the stripe were the SAME color as the two tone... maybe I need to go back to photoshop

That may work. Kindda like the Z28's with the quad stripes but keeping it to one or even two. I think the 1988 Sport Coupes have the stripes I am thinking about with the different color rocker panels.
