Just wondering if you guys think body graphics kits look good on most cars? I was thinking about finding something that worked well on my car. But on the other hand, If your paying for expensive Candy paint, why cover any of it up? Also, if I ever peel if off it will leave fading in the paint, won't it? [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

I saw a Celica at the Visions show with the big white decals on it. Like rips or something, I wasnt too jazzed on the looks. However, the airbrush type stuff looks wicked! It's a tough call. I think a nice shinny metalic flaked paintjob would look better than a kinder surprise car.

Most stickers make the car look like a tard owns it and didn't have money for a real paintjob.
Interesting. My buddy wanted to call his Speed Shop "Speed of Sound". He thought it would be perfect to get into car audio as well. But he had to settle for "RPM Performance".

I'm not a huge fan of graphics...so far I've only seen one that I've liked.

That and a few others are the only graphics that I have really been fond of.

Do not do stickers, there just a waste of time and money, you will just kick your self in the teeth after a while.. Not event hat spider thing on that pro5 is nice... Unless you get a little pin stripe, that is harmless to the eyes, stick with a nice paint job. Maybe ghost a image in that, but not flames, to many flames are on to many cars...

Yeah IMO I'd go with the airbrushing/paint job than the stickers. It all depends on what ur drivin and what type of design/stickers you had in mind too. Can't stand people that stick crap on their car that looks exactly like crap lol Just retarded is all. What kinda graphics were you lookin into for your car?

I'd agree, a paint job is much nicer to look at.. but if you can't afford it, at least get custom vinyl graphics, and get someone good to design/apply them,

So called "exotic" decaling often doesn't work and makes a car look Fast n' Faggoty.
