But I will be dressing it up in a Mazdaspeed Front Bumper, Side Skirts, and Spoiler.

Few other pics are in there because I wished to utilize similar elements from those pictures.

What is Alfy?

I'm looking for a little subtler 2 tone job than most. Intead of two wildly contrasting colors, I'm thinking black with dark grey, or something like that. I want to utilize sweeping curves across the sides like the red/black one from the album, but the line should cut across lower than that car had. Used Microsoft Paint to draw some rudimentary lines on a red/black pic to estimate where the lines should be. But I really do need someone with photoshop skill and their own artistic inclination to fill in the gaps in my thinking.

Do a SEARCH

on tone or two tone.

We have two or three threads with good pictures.

Hope that helps.

Unless you're going to link me specific pics that you think look like what I described, telling me to search is no help. Simply pass over this thread and do not respond intead of taking the time to tell me that. So far, all the two tones I've seen aren't what I'm looking for. I need to do this right so the shop will in turn do it right.

You need to learn to search. You know, in your spare time, whatever, do a little search here and there.....

Here's a link tho....pages 3 and 4 will hopefully help you out. Welcome... and also thank 3dZukini for the mad tight photoshop skillz yo.

Dude, those exact pictures are already in the album I linked. I've seen them. I've described them and how I want it to be different from those. They are great pics, but I have them. I HAVE searched, I just haven't seen what I'm looking for, and am asking for someone with experience to PM me. Maybe ill just PM this Zukini fella

That's not what I had in mind at all, but that actually looks really good to me. I might consider something like that as an option, thanks for the contribution.

In that picasa web album I linked further up, there is a red/black RX8 with the paint going in like a sweeping curve across the side. I was thinking something like that, but have the color change sweep across lower than that one did, using the curves of the fenders, side skirts, etc.

I made a very crude edit to the pic in Paint and added it to that album too to give an idea of what I meant.

But I do like that fade idea too.

This is the edit I made (Yes I know it's terrible. I have zero skill at this):
