Default Two-tone anyone?

I have yet to see someone really make a "nice" two tone paint job on an EG hatch. I have seen a lot of "rice" ones, but was wondering where anyone would suggest breaking the colors and with what? Pinstripe is kinda played out unless done right and only other way I can think is a definite line or gradient might work. But it just doesn't seem like there's any good ways to divide the colors and where to do the break without turning out dumb.

Only reason I ask is because it seems like almost every color combination has been done once, and repeated multiple times.

In my opinion it's really hard to get a nice looking two-tone on a civic because they lack aggressive body lines like the old muscle cars you normally see them on.

Id try following the body lines on the hood and go up over the rood and include the hatch.

The hood/roof/hatch combo I have seen plenty of times and it's almost a 50-50 chance of looking bad. I'm trying to see if anyone has done something below the window line possibly. I doubt I will find anything I like though...
