Default Two tone z06

Have a buddy who does excellent plasti dip jobs. sprayer full colorservice pearls metallic ect. I like the idea of playing with removable stuff before I set on a permanent color.
few people these days do the two tone thing. and I also like semi gloss and matte finishes so I dint get any glossifer or pearls (yet). here's the first render I wouldn't mind opinions good or bad it's my car in the end I'll choose but it never hurts to hear from the outside

I like the Halo and roof panel(minus the small part of the trunk that's plastidipped). Not a fan of the hood though.

I hope I don't seem obtuse, but when two toning, I think there should be a flow that doesn't stop just because of a body seam. I had a Z, and the idea of a contrasting roof is cool. I think that continuing the black thru the trunk lid and ending with a pleasing shape would not look like a big "patch". Doing similar onto the front bumper mimicking the curves of the bumper as a guide would let it flow nicely without looking like a "stick on"

Another no for the hood. Don't generally like two tone, but the roof isn't too objectionable.
We have 2 stripes on our living room wall; they're satin instead of the rest being flat... same color. People often dont notice until they've been here for hours. I think that'd look better; same color but flat roof.

Looks less traditional two tone and more primered hood or junkyard mismatch parts.

What he said. It looks like big black blotches, not integrated at all.

I agree. Looks like the hood was replaced and hasn't been painted to match the rest of the car.

I'm actually in agreement I think yall on the lights. But for 250 and the crazy amount of light they put out vs the pop ups... safety goes in front of looks for me.
