What would you guys think if this car had the "Halo" gloss black?

The red band just in front of the rear window and behind the targa. So bottom of the car is red, top black.

Can be done easily with black vinyl automotive vinyl.

I think it would really look cool then! (Although now is great.)

I love Torch Red! Did you guys know that GM is bringing back this color for the 2010 model year? It's about time they did that, Victory Red is nowhere near as nice of a red as Torch Red!
