I kinda like that. Reminds me of the Shelby Daytonas from the late 80's early 90's.

I love white and grey.

I like the grey and white but I personally think it needs a transition between the two.  I really like Cougars2Go's white 87 XR7 with the black moulding.

Foxless :(

I agree. With the way you have it photochopped now, it doesn't look like it has a definitive break point between the two colors. At the least i'd go with black for the trim, and perhaps an accent color in the middle of the trim. Other wise it the color scheme works well.

White + grey = smooooth

I like Andrew's white stripe idea also. Try that combo and I think you'll have a winner. Very nicely done.

I kinda like the version with the blue trim, myself...but then, if you don't have any blue elsewhere on the car, it'd kinda look..strange, maybe..but I thnk the gray, and white scheme looks pretty  sharp.

Shame, I like your's too, and after looking at both you ideas, I'm starting to think about doing black on top, with the molding breaking it up, and then grey on the bottom. Maybe blue in the molding..?
I dunno, but both of you guy's cars should look ed good when done up...;)

The white and great looks awesome, the white trim stripe definetly comments it, transition, whatever you wanna call it. Cool though.
