2-tone paint job

I saw this cobra at school one day and took a couple pictures. What you think?

eh, not so much. If the main colors were flipped, the divider would look much better.

Also, I'd venture to guess that's a GT with Cobra bumper and badges.

I like it because of the blue & orange pinstripes. If it didn't have them it would be too plain.

like it better when the paint is separated by a thin stripe, looks so much cleaner.

Everyone texted me and was like dude why is your corvette out side! Haha. Sad but the corvette drives better on the snow than the cobra does maybe it's the lack of power

Edit: some what related cause it's custom painted.

It's got flames. You know, for the extra 57hp. Bought it that way. Not a personal fan of flames but this is show room done.

You should post another picture. I can't see the flames at all.

The flames look better in person. They are not a solid color. I'll try to get a better picture after school

That looks pretty good. I'm not too big on symmetrical flames, but since it's just in the middle of the hood, it looks best like that.

The flames are almost like a mystic paint and change on the lighting. The calipers and under the hood are painted the same color.

I like it! Color combo I haven't seen before. Reminds me a little of the foose magnaflow mustang. The orange and blue break it up and would allow for inserts in the seats. Good looking car

Here a 95 that my friends dad completely rebuilt and supercharged many years ago for a customer. They didn't want to paint flames on it but it was the customers request.

I'd say it's not a Cobra...Wouldn't suprise me if it's a V6. The orange/blue pinstripes look terrible. And I'm not sure what's going on where the front fender meets the door, but it's not good.

I like the paint job BUT I dont like the color choice of the Blue and Orange. They could have better colors IMO. Also those headlights are hideous too.

I think the orange & blue make the car. I like the lightning bolt design at the door. Without the pinstripes the car would just be dull and bland.

That's pretty good looking, but I'd have had to continue the separator line across the back.
