your car needs to be fully hooked up to pull off that solid look
Trust me, if his car isn't yet...the next set up damn sure will be!


Dang Drew, you got me thinking twice too. I like the way it looks on Spa Yellow like someone posted before me. It looks good on S2Fire's car too....hmmmm. We got a few weeks to think about it.

2-tone or solid....this is exactly what I've been banging my head about for the past 2 months, ever since my Mugen HT arrived. I found a pic of an all-Sebring top (in the Sebring thread) and it looked gross IMO. Then I saw what all black looked like, so at that point it was a toss-up between all black and Sebring/black. In the end, I decided to paint the whole thing black because I felt that the car would look more 'sinister'.

Now only if my homeboy would just hurry up and finish painting the damned thing (but then again, with the hookup I'm getting, I can't complain I guess....)

i think your car needs to be fully equipped (like the spoonmobile) to pull off solid. two tone looks better on most other cars, for me.

my opinion about solid needing to be broken up does not apply to black, especially a black painted HT with different color paint. that is a different look that i think can be neat with other "darkening" mods (dark wheels, black chrome emblem set, tinted windows, smoked lights diffusers, etc). i don't really like that look for me, but it can look sharp if done right.

as i said, not for me, but here are some fantastic pics of one that "looks sharp" with an all black top on a colored car because it was "done right" - also, off topic, note the CRAZY center tail light mod. this car is so well done; wish it were mine.
