Here's my car from the front shortly after I had a new paintjob done to the front end.  It fades from black to burgandy starting at the front of the hood to about the lower third of the hump.  The fade is hard to see here, but the photo looks cool with the sky reflection!   Here it is again from the side.   You can see the fade better here as it works up the side of the fender.  The wheels and tires are the old factory units, and they have been replaced with a set of wheels and tires from a '98 Eclipse GS.  Much better!  Now I need to get some new springs and drop it about an inch to get rid of that fender gap...
