I perfer the black. But if you wanna look like a cop you can go with the two tone.

How does that look like a cop? Well I love black but since i'm getting work done to it I thought i change it up and make it look like I changed something. Its just hard to decide.

Personally, I don't think the shape of that Impala body style lends itself to two-tone schemes. The early, straight styles do but not these curvier ones.


PC.

I might try the two tone at the lower body line.

I say go with the two tone. You will have some nice new black paint to work with, without having a copletely black car and the work that that involves..

I like the all black. The all black SS has such an intimidating look I wouldn't want to give that up.

My opinion would be go for the two-tone, but put the black on the bottom and the silver up top instead. Maybe have a red accent by having it pinstriped right around where the two colors meet.

My $0.02

BTW, I'm jealous. I've wanted an Impala SS ever since I drove one for Driver's Ed. (Yes, they used one as a Driver's Ed car!)

The 2 tone is too ghetto for me.
