Should I paint the exterior a matching "Blue-ish/Police" color to match the interior?

I'd be very careful or you'll turn it into a rice mobile. Painting the hood, trunk and bottom of the doors will make it pure rice. Definately do not do that!

I'd say it's of questionability whether all those parts look alright together or not. In a way they do but in another they don't. I'd say paint the whole car a similar blue or leave it as is. Just be careful, I haven't seen too many two-tone cars that actually look that good. The two that are on here that are silver and black or whatever the other color is are actually very nice looking jobs.

that's the color of my interior. I know there is a truer blue leather but this appears to be like mine. I think it's jade or something. I've been calling it Grinch leather cause it was green-ish.

I am a big fan of police cruiser blue. I saw in a car mag a Gallardo with this color and the italian word for police on it. Very cool.

I asked my dad once and he said the cruiser color is called French Blue. I'd hit up the Ford site for their fleet vehicles. They have police color codes.

For two tone. Break out of the box and look at some google images of different two-tone jobs. You will be able to see what works and what doesn't with similarly shaped cars.

I'm glad you found all the parts to make you interior look complete. Mabey an exterior stripping might look cool too.

Keep us posted and post pics of examples you like.
