I have to agree, not a fan of two tone, especially on a mx-3. They were never meant to be a two-tone. Now if you take bel air, that's perfect look on them.

I'm pretty sure I grabbed it off of these forums but I have no idea where, now I don't know if it was already photoshopped but that was how I found it.

I appreciate you trying to look out for my best interests but I have spent quite a bit of time taping and retaping my mx-3 just to get an idea of how I want it. Trust me when I say that I feel I will be the most satisfied with my choice. I used several different colors of masking tape just to get a feel for what I want by the way.

I am not usually a fan of blue's. But if you must choose I would go with the subby blue. Have you considered bayside blue?

I'm gonna be honest with you.
I agree with Dark_rider in that blue is a great color, and I think the bayside blue would look amazing in the MX-3. Also, orange is my favorite color, and probably the color of my future MX.
But that two tone looks hideous, especially along that line. It looks like your car has been in a flood.

Sorry. You seem to be dead set on it, and, as I said before, you're the one who has to like it, but I feel morally obligated to be completely honest.

yeah that's exactly how I feel. Though, I don't know how orange would look. I see my friend's G5 with that cobalt orange.. and I don't think I could see that on the MX at all.
