Default 2 tone paint

Does any one have pictures of a two tone c5 corvette.I never see any diff. paint schemes. Show me what you got. Not a $12000 custom but just a simple difference.

This one was at our "Vettes doing the Charleston" show last year. This pic does not do the paint any justice.

I have seen three of these go through auctions and boy are they slick. Made in Washington for $100K+ This red one was for sale at 135K. This one took my breath away. Sorry for the poor pictures. Mostly carbon fiber. You should see under the hood too.
