Full Side Vinyl Graphic

[Matthew]

<!-- / icon and title --> <!-- message --> I need everyone's help! I am interested in standing out at shows and on the street with a NON riced out vinyl graphic. Something that kicks ass but doesnt look like s***. It could be as simple as one of those JDM lines, or as complex as Pirana's spider. Whatever looks good to you.

I was notified of my acceptance as a sponsored car for a certain popular vinyl graphic company, and they are getting ready to do my roll call in CF vinyl on monday. i would like to find something i like for a full side graphic while im waiting.

please post the pic of the graphic you like. if you really are bored and want to photoshop it onto my car to emphasize your point, im providing a few pics of my car.

if i pick the graphic you find and get it put on my car, ill paypal you ten bucks. its not a lot, but hey, just some money for your efforts and time.

im not going to be kicking back, im going to be pouring through the websites looking for examples myself. here are some ones i liked thus far (with some interest, not necsarrily GREAT but kinda stood out)

I deleted the first thread because it already became cluttered with all kinds of bulls*** joke pictures, please dont post that stupid s*** here. (bike)

How about:

 

[Matthew]

maybe the second one... you think that last one would look good on a four door or look like it was missing something?

im photoshopping some myself now.

 

[redwagon02]

I like the second one as well. The last one probly could use some of those squares in a color or colors.

here are a couple photoshops...i REALLY like the last one for some reason.

 

[thewrench]

I'm likin' the third one, the first is TOO busy ewwww, second just doesn't match the lines of the car very well- it's straight where the car curves, especially on the fron qtr, the last just has too much going on in front of the front whell well, looks too big for the car.

 

[Matthew]

see where my bumper meets the fender on the fourth one? what if i tapered off the graphic and didnt have it go into my bumper? so like the three lines met at the fenderwell?

 

[thewrench]

I think I just don't like the top line. If you taper it off, it'll kinda look like it's hanging there in space, and like it is now, they kinda look like an afterthought, just stuck on there because the designer wasn't sure how to finish it off.

 

[anarchistchiken]

I like the last one and second to last one on top, the third photoshop

 

[Matthew]

i kinda see what youre saying. remember also there will be like a 7 inch or 10 inch section cut out near the front of the doors for my roll call..

hmm..i still kinda like the fourth...i could taper it and pull it back so it hit the top of the fender...hmm

Noooooooo! Your car is so clean. NO VINYL, BAD MATT!

If you're going to go down that dark road, get the single stripe down the side which widens as is goes back, and then breaks to form blocks. Wish I could remember who had it (yellow P5 w/ turbo), but it looked really nice.

 

[Dexter]

I agree with Prezel.

Why vinyl though?

 

[Matthew]

I think deckedoutmp5 it was him. But i really need to stand out. i want to win shows AND win on the street/track..as nice as everyone says my car is here, etc, and how people have voted mine in the top of p5s, when you see it sitting next to other cars at shows, it looks plain.

im going to see how this roll call looks at first, because i HAVE to have that due to sponsorships. i think he said hes going to make it like carbon fiber, it should match nice. then ill go from there.

 

[Matthew]

I agree with Prezel.

Why vinyl though?

because i can pull it off if necessary.

 

[Heathen23]

Your car is already kinda busy with the hood, 2 color rims, and sport 20 decal (not in a bad way just several colors and things to draw the eye). I just see the vinyl no matter how simple looking like major overkill.

 

[Dexter]

So, in order to win shows you have to have vinyl, is what you are saying, right?

Yeah, thats why i hate the show s***...always gotta follow someone else. If you dont stand out, you lose. Thats why pink cars win. Thats why s*** brown cars win. Oh well.

I like #3 of your photoshops.

 

[thewrench]

OK, so the more I look at it, I just don't like the top stripe. It's just too much coverage by the vinyl. Thing is, I've kinda been thinking about some vinyl for my car and I like the third one, or the one before it in the first post, for myself, hehe.

 

[Pretzellogic]

Yup, DeckedoutMP5 is the one. If I was to get vinyl, that is the only way I would go. It looks very clean.

Unfortunately, as far as I understand, "clean" won't get you dink at a show. So I suppose you will have to go as loud as possible.

This is not to say that I will not attempt to bring you back to sanity
