Thoughts on two-tone the car?
Its time I get some bodywork done on my car and I'm thinking of two-toning the car. Very similar to what Techart did on this 997.
The car is currently arctic silver and I thinking of painting the lower lip, front hood, side mirrors in either porsche slate grey or meteor grey metallic (basically some type of dark grey/graphite color).
The car is far from OEM since its a track car (will never win any concourse awards). I figure I might as well have some fun with the colors. Any input/suggestions would be appreciated, thanks!

I notice in order for the painted hood to work, the two-tone needs to be carried to the bumper like the 997. Going to ask my bodyshop if he could fabricate 997 GT3 bumper vent into my RSR front bumper. Thanks for the photo, no to the painted side mirrors.

Different strokes for different folks, and power to you if you decide to do this
but... The 993 doesn't have the same lines as the newer body styles do, and
two tone paint, IMO looks awful.
No PS skills required to see how crappy that would look:

All the big wings, big scoops, big slats and inlets of the 996/997 series lend themselves to more of this two-tone styling.
On the clean lines of the 993 series however, it just detracts, IMHO.
