Two tone is for Mini Coopers and Ford Fairlanes.

I would paint to match and add some vinyl Martini Stripes that go nicely with that grey.
and add a Cayman spoiler. You've got the lowered part...

Another vote for matching paint.

Thanks for the opinions so far.

That plastidipped 911 looks phenomenal. For those that have mentioned plastidipping, do they match the plastidip to the paint color? In other words, does plastidipping only come in certain colors, or can they custom mix it to match the rest of the painted car?

Man, that 911 pic has me thinking though about getting the whole car done, especially if it can be done for $650 and getting the rims blackened. Would look sweet then.

Or paint/dip the top black. Black matches everything.

I love my 2-tones but in your case maybe need to match the body color or go black, as other have suggested, you can dip or wrap it yourself for less than $100.

Unfortunately they don't have color codes for plastidip to match cars! But they can mix and match colors for your liking. I have my daily driver Plastidipped. Here's a picture! I had it originally dipped camo green, then we did the rest of the camo bits!

Called a shop in Dallas today and they told me they would plastidip the entire car for $450 plus $175 for the wheels as well.

If it comes out looking like some of the cars I've seen on the web today that are plastidip'ed, that's a helluva deal IMO.

I think I'm going to have my whole car done, in matt grey with colored wheels like the 911 pictured on the first page in the dipcanada photo. That's a gorgeous look. Glad I posted this thread to get some ideas.

Posting pictures of your car after it is done is a MUST! Look forward to seeing it.
