Default Rice, or nice?

I was debating some paint on my s2000, i am looking at getting the Gunmetal TSW Nurburgrings. And then painting my hood, and trunk with the same color as the rims, aswell as the lip, and spoiler i am getting. Also, the side mirrors. (kinda the nsx style ive seen before) i couldnt find a way to test it out till i hopped on forza at a friends house and decided to try the color scheme, and it actually looked pretty good.

Car: Silverstone, black interior
want to paint: Hood, Spoiler, Lip, Trunk lid, same Gunmetal color as TSW Nurburgrings

i figure it would give it a unique look, but i could be wrong, just never seen an s2k like that... opinions?

in my opinion, hood and trunks painted dark color are kinda ricey because people do it to imitate CF. I think you should leave it one color. or get CF hood, trunk etc.

No offense, painting the hood / trunk black is kinda white trash.

Someone on here is selling NFR trunk and mirrors and in the pictures he has them on his GPW. Its not horrible but i wouldn't do it to my car unless it was carbon fiber.

Very few cars can pull off the two-tone look and look good. The ones that do are usually OEM and very expensive (ie: Porsche). A two tone S2000 would be fail, IMO.

I wouldn't do it but I'm not gonna hate on it. My only thing is I would say keep the lip body color since it's disconnected from the rest of the 2nd color parts.
