To TWO-tone or not to two-tone.

[sr20detconv]

I want to refresh the body on my car because it has a few dings/dents and paint peeling on the front bumper. I was also thinking about repainting the whole car. I want to stay in grey colors. Should I keep the two-tone or not. If not what color do you suggest me. I was thinking about Mazda Protege speed 2003-5 titanium.The car will also have pignose lip and CDM sideskirt and probably hanabis wheels.

Any help and suggestions is greatly appreciated.(sorry for the bad english)

[wow-thats-a-cool-car]

keep the two tone don't distroy a rare car

[jdizzy204]

2 tone, jdm skirts, pignose lip, jdm rear valances, work vs-xx, roll and pull fenders, slammed and done. thats the way id do it

[n1smo413]

nah screw vs-xx,if i had the money for those wheels i'd do 5 lug and get r33 wheels.r33 wheels fit with stock aero looks dope.

[bigOdom1]

keep it two tone like it is

[krisdeezy]

keep it two tone it's sick !

[exitspeed]

If it is originally two tone you must keep it two tone.

Or else...

[wgJoY]

keep two tone yo.

[drift freaq]

I would side with the two tone crew. You have a rare beast there that looks good. Keep it that way. As for wheels? Do whatever you want. Just don't repaint the car a different color. If it was a solid one color car it would not matter. If I had a two tone coupe I would never repaint it anything but the two tone.

[InlineS13]

I wouldn't even re-paint it if it looks like that still. Just slam it and get some nice wheels. TE's, Regas, or some deep dish kinda sum'n

[tr4c3]

Keep it two-tone! I'll be respraying my two-tone down the road but it's staying the same. Once a two-tone, always a two-tone!

[boost_addict]

keep the color just re paint it its og color...

[Vatche]

definately keep the two tone

[shinhed]

The 2-tone mafia has spoken.

[sr_20]

two tone FTW!!!

[FaLKoN240]

Yeah, keep it.

As long as your car isn't a hatch 2 tone will always look good.

As long as you don't have like CRAZY aero kit.

[yokotas13]

two tone ftmfw

[gotspins13]

Please dont destroy the two tone!!!!!!!!!! =]

[drftwerks]

solid color.

[Charlie]

Hands down two tone

[OTG Vinyl]

I normally hate two-tones, but i love how your stock setup looks. Do that again.

[firelizard]

Keep the two tone.


Sorry mom, the mob has spoken.

[sr20detconv]

I think it's pretty clear. Yes it's the original paint from 89....original jdm s13 too. As for the wheels....I'm on a pretty low budget and I want an okay offset. 17x9 +20 with a 10mm spacer in the back will look ok I guest and 17x9+20(aka falken hanabis in silver).

Also....who want to trade CDM oem side skirt for silvia OEM sideskirt?

I will also look for bings rear valence....and lower it more.......and my ricer heart couldn't resist clear/smoked tails.

When it was lower........

i hate you. but seriously, speaking from some one that has that same 2-tone. keep it the same color. i had re-sprayed mine, but it was re=sprayed the original color to make it look a little fresher. but yours looks incredibly clean.

[firelizard]

You raised the car?

Oh Canada, don't do this to me.

[ellisonrox]

Keep the two tone.


Sorry mom, the mob has spoken.

+rep for a good simpsons quote

but yes to the OP, def keep the two tone

[96Turbo]

I'm in the same predicament as this guy.....Only i've got a USDM 240.....not a Silvia.

I kinda wanna do a onevia with a kit...but then i would almost have to repaint solid because aftermarket front bumpers look lame with 2 tone

so that leaves me with keeping it pignose, or doing a silvia front with OEM jdm aero. (either Q's or Aero if i'm lucky enough to find some for a good price)

but it looks like i'm gonna hafta leave it 2 tone if i ever wanna come back on zilvia again :keke:

[C. Senor]

people were telling me to do the kouki 180 front on my coupe, so the color lines would still flow. so you can look into that. i stayed pignose. i personally like it that way. piggy front with oem aero. that's where it's at.

[liv2drift045]

Keep the two tone. Shit, My jzx100 is gonna be two tone (whether it came that way or not)... Two tone is the shiz.

[silvia13t14]

with out two tone there are no silvia s13's

[Flybert]

Solid Color.

[sr20detconv]

You raised the car?

Oh Canada, don't do this to me.

The car rubbed everywhere. This was too low....but next year it will be close to that....

Maybe out of subject....but can someone give me ideas for good offset wheels in 4 bolt ....dont wanna pay 2000 also.

[drftwerks]

two tone says 20 + year old car
solid says less than 15

[WagDatto]

Hopping on the bandwagon late, as usual... Keep the two tone. Two tone makes coupes look SO much lower/longer and better... Solid colors can be hit or miss, IMO. Don't go super-flashy on the wheels. Something 16/17" range with a mild offset. Enough to put some meat on the wheels and fill it out a bit. Classy ride!

[Enna]

Shit if I owned an S13 I would keep it or make it two tone. They look like shit otherwise, usually.

[BlckBeautyVTEC]

solid color.

:eek3d: cut against the grain

[C. Senor]

yuri's car is pure heat. but there is another pearl mint green coupe that is dope. now to find the pic....

[burnsauto]

honestly, look into PDR (paintless dent removal) If you have trouble finding a guy who can do it, call up local dealerships, they use them all the time. The dents on your door don't look too terrible, and you can get the front bumper repainted for prob a few hundred dollars.

If the clear is ok on the car itself, I wouldn't really paint it.

[s13 @ fullboost]

2 tOWNED haha keep it those same exact colors

[picho]

2 Tone is the shit just because I own one. LOL.

[ChicagoS14]

2 TONE 2 TONE!!!! I wish my S13 was 2 tone, those colors are dope as hell!!! really makes the car that much more unique.

[2toneluv]

the two tone is hot!! 2tone ftw :D

[MrSackles]

[mario24601]

Keep 2tone, I think the look best and you never see them on the road....Ive been looking to buy one for years now, I just want a clean simple 2tone stock coupe...too bad I cant find one. Car looks great.

I found a 2 tone coupe and bought it before i even realized what it was. All i knew is that i wanted an S13 coupe and i ended up with a perfectly stock well maintained 2 tone. Although i paid more than it was worth...

oh geez lol now i simply can't flat black my two-tone, or the TTMafia will rape me haha

lol, that would not go over very well with the TTMafia
