looking for paint ideas

so im getting tired of looking at the same paint job and want to spice things up a lil bit but dont want to do a full color change it is currently crystal metallic blue with a painted carbonfiber hood




before i even saw this prelude on here i was given the idea of painting the roof black to bend in with the sunroof since the paint is faded to hell and back since im from florida where the sun isnt forgiving but im not sure how black would look on my car if i went along with the idea i would probably do the center of the hood aswell like this below



please give me your opinion if u thing i should stick with this scheme...or let me know what u think might be a better way to switch things up a bit im open to other ideas

i'm not really the creative type so i'm not going to offer anything positive... but i do like what you did w/ the black on white idea, the black does blend in w/ the sunroof. cheers! black's super easy to touch up.

Eh, tough question. If you have skills with photoshop i would suggest laying it out on there to see how well it goes with the paint on the car. And as for painting the hood with it, i like the idea but it might take away from the lines of the hood. I would suggest either Photoshoping it yourself and post the pics, or get a nice aerial shot of your car to post, i know there are some people here that are great with photoshop and should be able to help. Good luck and clean lude!!

in the spirit of changing things up instead of doing black, i think it might look good in white or something light like that

This is definitely my favorite color on a lude, and probably my favorite lude I've seen..

Yellow is not good.. Yellow on an ITR is whatever but not on a prelude, and If one is going to pull of a yellow lude they are going to need more than a couple lips and a spoiler.. Hurts my eyes thinking about it.
