Lightbulb Opinions on the look?

Hey guys I was thinking of doing this paint job on my 94.
Also dropping it a little and new rims and tint.
Just as you see in the pic.
Oh and I also have a 4dr.

IF you are set on going 2-tone, I would suggest making the line between the paint changes even with the bottom of the windows. If you notice, it will flow a lot better with the contour of the body. The red line on the photo demonstrates what i mean.




And as far as other stuff, a nice drop and wheels will look good. What suspension are you planning on running? I also like that it appears you are keeping the stock bumper and lip.

Yes I was thinking the same. I was thinking for the line on the back of the car to follow the car line to the top of the rear taillight.
You think that would look good? Heres an example.

As far as the drop, I don't know what suspension yet. I kinda don't like air struts because of the ones I have now...they are crap and yet they are expensive. I don't want my car slammed and kissing the ground all the time. Here in washington there are nothing but potholes and construction and speed bumps...
For the wheels I'm not sure either. I like the ones I put on the pic. At first I was thinking of plastidipping them and making them black gloss but I think aluminum looks nice. Well the bumper is going to be the same. The lip chances are a Mugen style lip might be going on the whole car, stock bumpers though.

By air struts, I'm guessing you mean a whole air ride system?

check out Air Rex and Air Runner....I've had friends with both of their kits, and they love them.


I personally, am not a fan of 2-tone.......I think its kind of dated. But if you like it, by all means go for it.

I saw someone do an orange and black two tone on a 5th gen honda...it looked pretty bad, but they are contrasting colors, if they look nice together and don't clash, I say go for it!

My opinion is that it should feather together, I think it would looks a little better than abrupt changes.

Best of luck with the Paint job!

Also don't give up on the factory alloys! They can look good:

(a cb7, but still)

You know what's funny? People who have pin stripes, chrome trim, etc always wanna go monochromatic. Those who have monochromatic always wanna go two tone. I personally prefer the monochrome look, debadged with minimal indications of what the car is. But, to each his own
