Ok so in about a month or so will be in a BIG CarShow event w/ my Car Crew...

Right now my Exterior is Pretty Stock looking!!...Just for the Show I like to do something that will be Eye-Catching!!...Currently I have Custom Headlights, Rear Signal Overlays...
Grills, Painted wheels, Painted Rear Emblem..

Should I do some "dumb" decals?....

or like a Pinstripe like "CaptainLazyness"???....thats on the bottom part

I dont have Money for a body-kit or anything....so...Any Kinda suggestions?

Muchos Gracias!!!

 

Just say no to heaps of decals.

 

those are dumb, don't do it because you think other people would like it... do what you like

 

You spelled my name wrong....


If you do go the vinyl route, the best part is that you can get really crazy with it for the show and remove later if you don't like it. I actually had an idea the other day about somethin' totally crazy that I might be tryin' out this summer.

How 'bout getting your SL handle printed up and using that on your car?

 

Just borrow Wheels from a friend..hahah

 

I apologize for the incorrectness of replacing the "y" w/ an "i"...lol..

Negative on the S/N being printed out and slapped on..then i like in the "Rice & Taters" thread!...haha...

Hum...Screw the Decal thing then...

 

S'ok, just effin' with you.

 

have u lowered ur car already?...that makes a pretty big difference depending on the drop....but im kinda in the same boat as u iv been tring to think of lil things to help my car be more "eyecatching"...have u thought about a lip kit??? there not to exspensive....other then that a "tasteful" decal is the only other way to go that i can think of for the exterior.

 

Yup...Got the UltiMica on Eibach ProKit!...haha..I wanna switch over to CoilOvers..

Yea ALL this thinking about what I wanna do is giving me a Headache!!!

I might just do a Few Decals....woo-hoo!!

 

oh awesome wats the drop??...lol yea that sucks..im not a big fan of decals either....the ones that i do like are too common...iv saw that some ppl have been doin just a front lip and it looks pretty good...but i dont think its really as eyecatching as ur wanting!?!....

 

If you have any parts worth promoting, you could do a simple roll call of decals down the front part of each door, under the mirrors.

Doesn't always look that great though... and if you don't really have many decent parts to back it up it can get pretty ricey really quick.

If you want something eyecatching or otherwise interesting and different, it generally won't be simple/quick/cheap.

 

how about some lights. Get a few tubes/LEDs from oznium and work with those. I just ordered a few myself to attemp to make some custom underglow... so far it looks like the post office lost my package though if i don't get any word tomorrow ima have to go postal on someone . How about springs?

 

sound system soundsystem soundsystem :D

 

Please don't load up your car with graphics, they do not make a car look nice. Sure, they might catch an eye, but if there is nothing else to look at along with the graphics, people won't stay interested.

 

sorry to be the rookie here..........I was thinking about lights from Oz as well would be a low cost add on that has a big wowo factor..............you got it lowered.......keep it clean............stickers suck unless under the hood on a single area.........like the isotope plate..........maybe all brushed stainless under the hood like the oil cap and all the other caps........or gunmetal grey.........keep it uniform though..........front to back in to out.........Brian

 

Thanks Guys.....for ALL the advice!

I've gone through my Sticker phase already way back when!..haha...Thats why I dislike Stickers now!...

Yea I was thinking about INterior lighting too!...

Its a Daytime Show though.....

HUM...I got my under the Hood looking good...
My painted Engine Cover is Starting to Buble on me!...Grrr
I even used the 1,000 Degree paint!!!

I like to get a Front Lip!!...and a Rear Lip!...
whenever I get Money!....haha

Ok...keep the Suggustions Coming...I know someone wants to Spill some secrets to Me!.....

 

its a good idea to stay away from the decals/stickers/vinyl...
have you tried doing some carbon fiber? a cf hood would look nice

 

Nah CF in my opinion doesnt go well w/ Flint Mica!...

others will disagree!....lol....

Damn....Oh well...I cant think!

 

Some people (like myself) really like the clean look. IMO it is much classier and I notice a well done, clean looking car first at a show.

 

Just do what you think is HOT!
