Default Two-Tone S2K?

Ok... Just wanted to throw this question out to Y'all...

I have Laguna S2K and I really like the styling of CR... However, since CR body parts don't come in Laguna and are they are expesive as it is, I really don't want to paint the body parts. Therefore... How will my S look with...

BK CR lip and BK CR spoiler w/ BK
Trunk and maybe add BK OEM Hardtop?

I know I am trying to be cheap by not painting everything to match the body but...

Will it look wack?

Thanks in advance for any inputs...

not really....I know several people with either carbon fiber center lines (hood, trunk, wing etc) or black painted center lines.

the jump between the hood and front lip might look odd but if you do all the rest it should flow sufficiently.

I will try to post a quick chop of an existing CR with the parts blacked out to see what it looks like

I don't know why OEM berlina hood is in your mod list.

Anyways, LBP is a nice color, why combine with black.

You will need to paint the front lip IMO it will look tacky unpainted or you could paint the rest of your car black...LOL..j/k.

I think with the black wing, HT, trunk and hood it will look good and different, but if you throw a lip that is as large as the CR one and dont paint it the car will look tacky.

Might help it flow if you painted the upper section of your mirrors black too.

Just my opinion

I tried to work it up and stopped because it was looking horrible. the hood, trunk and wing will look fine but the front lip is too bulky to paint another color.

horrible idea... if you really want to go cheap then paint the lip and leave everything else but i think you will ruin the color LBP

if you paint it it will looks good, matching body panels FTW. If you dont, it will look ugly in my opinion.
