There was a member here some time ago,(jesse something or similar) who did what I thought was the best red/black combo I have seen to date. It was also the only one I have ever seen done like that. It looked quite a bit better,I am sorry to say,than your concepts( I don't mean that in a bad way)
From the front end,the car looked one color,and from the rear another.Quite unique.
Maybe some of the old timers around here remember the car or member.I can't remember his forum name or I would search for it because it looked pretty darned good and you should see it.
Edit: His forum name was SonnyinVa. I am searcing for a pic,but so far it looks like they have been cleared

The difference is you have an frc and his is a coupe.Now, I love the carravagio spoiler and especially on an frc. I could see this paint scheme modified a little to where the black would extend further back on the hatch and roll over the top side of the spoiler for your car.
I think that would look badazz!!!!
It's just a personal observation I have had ever since I first saw this car.YMMV.
Good luck and be sure to post up what you decide on and the finished product

Rework 3 or 4 to work with / around the side 'scoop', maybe have that lower bit reach all the way around the bottom and front of the car and you may have something. Definitely go for it, especially with vinyl.

I did #2 on my 81 and it looked great. Soften the corners and extend the spikes and bring em to point. Maybe a complimentary color instead of the stark contrast you have now....
Good job of going for something different!

A toss up between 1st and 3rd...Instead of paint maybe you want to look into doing a vinyl wrap instead, this way if you don't like it, or you get bored with it you can change it for a fraction of the price.

Scheme 2 rounded to fit the cove contours and faded rather than stark red to black would look different and potentially very nice. Then do a similar black to red fade treatment on a center stripe, black out the lower rear fascia and add black center wheels.
