I keep looking at those pictures, and although they are a poor representation of what the car would look like, I'm not so sure I like that look. I know the 2 tone thing is a newer style and stuff, and that a lot of cars are running around with color schemes like this one, it just looks moparish a little too much for me. Beyond that, we all know what those silly prostreet cars from the 80s look like and how un-timeless their paint jobs are with the dated patterns and colors. Is it possible that a few years from now this 2 tone scheme will be the same way? Maybe it is just me.

I think my official vote is "against" this idea.

I'm not entirely against the idea of incorporating black into the paint job, just in that fashion. Maybe it can be used to accentuate the contours of the car, kind of like the "heavy chevy" stripe you mentioned earlier,...not because it is anything but wild, rather because it uses the shape of the car. I can see the lines of that '71 on the CF banner pretty well, maybe there's something to them that can make a paint job nobody's seen, that looks like something GM shoulda put on chevelles from the factory. Maybe I should just shut up.
