The white/black are nice.

I had toyed with the idea of getting the top painted something other than white or black.
I guess if I could work Photoshop I would have a better idea of how it would look.

I think visually that could work....but how well would white paint hold up on those plastic bits. I know mine get some punishment. Also, try you idea out in Photoshop, or put some white tape on a model car...I think it would help to see it before plunging ahead. Just my opinion...good luck!!!!

Agreed. Down the model shop tomorrow!!!

I am, at some point going to get the extra wide flare from minimainia, so if it does go horribly wrong I have a backup!!

Photoshop IS cheaper! Fortunatelly I have a cousin who has a body shop and has done a ton of work for me at basically cost. I've taken him some pretty pathetic cars.
