#37281, "Keep top half black?"




          

Im getting this nasty yellow off my car tomorrow. It was a nightmare getting yellow, stood out way to much. Im getting a dark silver. Im wonderin gif you all think I should keep the top half black like it is now or do the whole car dark silver? Be honest..... I like the kinda sporty look the half black gives but I also want a normal looking car and also the half black looks weird from behind..... Cant decide.

I got banned for being a constant tard.

agreed..i'd either convert to talon or eclipse..i wouldn't mix and match them..i mean mixing 95-96 with a 97-99 bumpers and rear are cool with eclipses but..i dunno about talons/eclipse mixing..but it's up to do you do what you want..and gray is a cool color..yellow is too bright and hurts my eyes when i see yellow cars emoji..but your car does look very nice though..but i just prefer eclipse rears over talon rears..but it's all good

personally i like black top cars like yours. the only thing i would recommend is have the top entirely black. right now the hatch trim around the rear window you painted yellow -- if you were to paint that in black it would look 10x better and much more uniform, imho. emoji

Paint the entire thing Silver. The old NSXs have that "black top" style and i think it looks horrible. Makes it look like a convertible.

DUDE! I'd say KEEP IT THE SAME! I think your car looks great, and if it had a better paint job, it would look fantastic! I would look for other ways to spice the looks of the car up, rather than just changing the paint job.

Some people think that the "all stock" look is good...and I guess it is for a while, but I personally get sick of it. I think what you have going is really unique and kicks ass! I'm sure lots of people on here could help you come up with alternatives that would kick ass, as well!

Keep it unique, but not just with some weird new color. I think that yellow is one of the most unique colors out there.

If you do decide to change colors, please take lots of pictures before doing so, so that we may have a reference for what a yellow car looks like.

Good luck with what you do!

I think you should keep it how it is, maybe you could use a touch up if you want. I like the half yellow roof, but I think it would be pretty sweet if you painted the front pillars too.

You know what I was thinking of, before I bought my tail lights?..
I was going to paint the middle part on our Talon tails. And I was going to color match the area around the license plate..

Can someone photo shop that?

Ur car looks good, I don't think it will make much a difference with the black or silver... I would proabbly lean towards painting the the whole thing silver
