Default Has Anyone Done a '50's Style Magnum?

Curious (and I realize it's a bit early and with winter approaching and all), but has anyone thought of doing a Magnum in a '50's stlye paint? You know, like those two-tone Chevys or Buicks...some nice wide whitewalls and the dual exhaust on the RT....hmmm!

Very cool idea. The magnum lends itself to this much better than the 300c. The 300c Bentley look really limits its mods to that style.

The magnum is the sleeper when it comes to style but I am sure the car will be flooded with options very soon. I have seen a two-tone paint job (on a magnum) flash by on one of the rap videos but it was not shown as much as the 300c.

Two tone? That is why my Magnum was ordered in mudnight blue. I was planning on having my custom car buddies do a pearl white on the top, pillars and stopping somewhere near top of the doors.
They have looked at it, and have some ideas.
My dilema: this is daily driver, and with about 4k miles per month, I only plan on keeping it for 2-3 years max. I also cannot live without my RT for 2 weeks, as I am a Salesman. Gibson Performance had my RT for week prototyping new exhaust. Driving that rental Lunmina almost killed me!!
The pearl white top would be cool, still pondering this one!
Later,
'8R

You gotta post some pics when you do it!

What about having someone who knows how to use Photoshop take an image of your RT and add the two tone roof? I've seen others do this as a mockup...a hell of a lot cheaper that doing it and not liking it!

Good luck!

If all goes according to plan, my SXT will be getting a two tone, with some EXTRAS, sometime either in December or right after the first of the year. Two tone using the factory bright silver with the deep purple used on the Prowler and doing some drop flames with Plum Crazy, pin stripped to highlight and bring out the shadowing. Being done by one of the local guys here in Houston, Diaz Paint & Body. It will match my new 360 Airintakez prototype intake arriving this Wednesday.

Is this a doctored image or is it for real? Great job if it's doctored!

It's our Mag with a little Photoshop magic. The wife hated it when I showed it to her.
