Everyone please respond!
I am having a little trouble convincing my wife that our burgandy and black svx would look better with a black hood in adation to the existing black top and trunk lid. I beleive if the same exact car hit the market today sa a new subaru they would have included a black hood standard. Please give me your openion with a comment?
 Thanks, Keith

nah, the black hood just doesnt look right. Even if you do the slivers at the top of the fender black too...
then again, nobody who has done the two tone in such a way has pinstriped the seam of black to other color...leaving it looking unfinished. But even if you WERE to pinstripe it, say, with a dark silver...the body lines make it difficult to keep clean. You'd have to run the stripe essentially under the mirror, along the bottom edge of the window molding, and half under the trunklid. Paint the mirrors black as wel, obviously It COULD work, but it'd require alot more than just painting the hood

Nah that just does not look right at all.
Why dont you go single colour over the whole car & get rid of the black totally? Darren

All one color makes the car look very.. pedestrian, more so some of the dark 'earth tones' (dark red, hunter green)that the car was offered with. The two tone makes her look sporty and stands out. I could go either way with continuing the color through to the hood, mirrors, and fender-tops - its really a personal taste thing, (Im lazy, and would only do it to skip trying to match a rare 15 year old pearl job.)
If its what you want, make sure of it, do a pic of the car on photoshop

I don't think that color would look good with the black hood. I have seen others, and some of them look ok, but not all of them. I agree. Do a photoshop of it and see what it looks like.

Yes, that is what happened on all of the later models anyway.
Except the 94 Pearl.

one color FTW.
two-tone cars remind me of the late-eighties/early nineties Eclipse/Talon, etc.

I'm hoping to get my Claret painted this year some time. The plan is to have only the top/roof Black..........
