i like it, very very nice!

Did you do it yourself? It looks cool, almost carbon fiber'ish...IMHO, it'd look better if your roof and pillars were painted the same color [as the triangle].

ca18detsilvia 02-19-2007 01:23 AM

did it myslef w/ a can of spray paint, some tape, and some newspaper :ylsuper:

Yer mighty ballsy! I don't know if I could bring myself to do that...how's your paint lines? I never have luck with making straight lines with tape.

Looks good though, what color is that? You should, totally, do the roof & pillars too!

it looks good from far!

Any nice quality close ups?

Romeo 02-19-2007 02:26 AM

So let me guess....

there was a reason why you even decided to do this......
Scratch?
rock chip?
needed a repaint anyway?

.... was there some damage to the hood before you did it?

Looks awsome from far, Id like to see some up close pictures.

is that primer?
theres no shine to it, but kinda like that about it.
fill us in with more info and more pics. looking good...

phat8 02-19-2007 02:57 AM

can spray paint? ok... looks good, agree about the pillars.

Aero8 02-19-2007 07:13 AM

WOW, you just made my day. This looks awesome, I have been thinking aboutdoing this exact thing on my car, just with a piece of vinyl. I took a couple of pics and used microsoft paint to try to see how it looks, but it didn't turn out so well on that.

ca18detsilvia 02-19-2007 10:29 AM

I'll try and get a close up in the tonight or tomorrow, didn't take long just about 20 min, didn't really have a reason for doin it, just was bored one day

XDEEDUBBX 02-19-2007 10:33 AM

hmm..not something I would have done...ebay has a vinyl sticker you could have got for like $20 and it's not permanent.

volk 02-19-2007 10:43 AM

Not something I would have done either, but to each his own.

dying_here 02-19-2007 11:07 AM

wow... Kudo to you. So you were just bored one day and decided to go buy a can of spray paint from your local store and spray painted your car?! Impressive! But it looks good, so good job

RotaryP7 02-19-2007 11:38 AM

Hmm.. If it fits your liking; why not? Good job on the paint.

smrx8 02-19-2007 12:27 PM

wow looks good but i would not have the balls to do it

federal.bikes14 02-19-2007 01:00 PM

that looks sooooo good.

Krasnog 02-19-2007 02:20 PM

hey man - can't wait to see it. it looks good, and I already know how the rest of the car looks - I think it will match well, make it all flow (stripes etc)...

Steakboy42 02-19-2007 03:07 PM

I laughed at a dude here who spray bombed a flat black racing stripe on his mustang. and it wasn't cause it was a mustang or a racing stripe..

9krpmrx8 02-19-2007 09:10 PM

I don't like it.

SDRX8CHICK 02-19-2007 10:26 PM

looks great for a DIY PROJECT.. add some more graphics to balance it out!

airspeed 02-19-2007 10:45 PM

I was thinking of doing this the vinyl way. thanks for the pic!
I'm also thinking of 'vinyl'ing the roof in between the two strips.

There was a guy that had the vinyl for this but he doesn't do it anymore. Where do we go to get this precut in vinyl?

JeRKy 8 Owner 02-19-2007 11:38 PM

You have a blotch or something on the upper right corner

Anyway it looks weird

c41250n 02-20-2007 12:20 AM
