Thinking of 2 toning my FX4.

It is a 2010 Screw in Silver Ingot and I was thinking of toning the bottom like my 04 FX4 in silver/grey. But this time maybe silver ingot and a brighter silver on the bottom. or White. Opinions?

This is 50% in white, although I have an FX4. And the other is just like my old 04 FX4 in grey.

I am not crazy about the white, but the grey looks pretty good I think.

The bumpers on the FX4 are the Silver Ingot also. My older FX had the grey on the bottom and matching bumpers. Just trying to look for something different this time around.

Have you thought about just two toning with the fender flares. A buddy of mine used to have an older FX4, like 2002 or so and it was white with shadow gray flares and it looked awesome! I bet the silver with the gray flares would look pretty sweet too! Just a thought.

Here is the FX4 with the 2 tone as the 04 was, and the lariat grill I am installing.

Get the grey on the bottom. It will look great. I don't know if you considered this or not, but you can get the bumpers and bottom done in grey linex. That would be awesome.

I am a fan of the Charcoal bottom 2 tone. I think light lower 2 tone looks weird

I like the 2nd pic, but would look better if you painted the bumpers & fender flares while you're at it. imho

No, actually was going to have my nephew do it at his body shop after I gave him an Imac. Problem with that also?
