2 tone or Not 2 tone- That is the Question?

While I was looking for a picture of a phantom grill for a different thread I came across a paint scheme I liked.

So here is a couple chops that I am trying to decide from.

All Silver or Silver/Black with a Burgundy flame brake (i just made a stripe for the chop)




What do you guys think?

Actually yes, I have a silver I am already using. It's from a 2001 Viper. The inside of the bed and engine bay is already done in the silver.

As far as all of the opinions, Seems like a landslide for the two tone.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement.
