The overall idea is cool, kinda camo colours, but it wasn’t quite working for me… maybe if you made the top half (ie. down to just below the door handles) black, and the bottom half green it could work. I dunno, try that. So far, I’ve liked the straight green the best, which I actually do like. ---

Yeah, follow the pinstripe down the side of the car, from the top of the headlights to the back, its nice and even and will gicve u thathalf and half look without being awkward. ---

Do that and then tint the windows 25 all round and it will look sweet. Yes I know 25 is 10 lower than legal… but you have a sunroof so I wouldn’t worry too much about it. I have 25 all round on my car and I’ve never been hassled. ---

The 240 is slowly becoming like the Civic, in that no matter what you do… it’s been done before. 😢 So it doesn’t really matter WHAT he does. I’m not saying that’s how he should do his car, I was just chopping cuz I was bored. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/paint-scheme-for-my-coupe/91205.md?page=2)
