I seen it and i thought white/red pin strip going from the black to he silver, also the trunk i would put a contour or something the straight line just... I dunno not look right a all. Maybe do the make the silver match the trunk contour or something.

I do like the contrast in colors and overall its a sharp car. Think you should change the name to "Two Face". That's just something that popped in my head while lookign at it.

I like the outcome for the most part. Some possible improvements:

-- As is, the bowtie on the trunk looks a liitle too small for the trunk. Possibly because of two tone paint job on the trunk. Maybe move it to one of the bottom corners if you keep the two-tone on the trunk. If you do the two-tone bowtie like the others suggest, maybe get a slightly larger one.

-- The line going across the middle of the trunk lid looks okay, but not great. Maybe have the entire trunk lid black. I think it may fit in better since your tail lights are blacked out. You would still have the two tone thing going. The trunk lid and tail lights black, and the bumper silver. If you do that, make your bowtie all silver. Or maybe the top of the trunk black, the verticle part silver, and finish it with a black surfboard-style spoiler.

-- A spoiler would really improve the look in my opinion. Either one would look good.

-- I agree with MonteDriver, a white pinstripe separating the two colors would really finish it off. If you paint the entire trunk lid black, have a custom painted decorative pinstripe design in the center of the trunk lid where you now have the bowtie. I think you know what I mean, but I'll try to find an example if I can.


Edit: I can't find a pic right now. But I'm pretty sure you know what I mean.
