You drive a tC not a MINI Cooper.
I would say neither. But if 50 Cent had a gun to my head and made me choose;

1. I would laugh because he's a terrible rapper.
2. (And) I would choose the checkerboard if I HAD TO CHOOSE. GL.

hahahahahah I just laughed so hard at that!


If I had to choose, I would go with a snow camo, I think that would look awesome!

Maybe something along the lines of this?







Check out this general thread, it is sick!

it reminds me of a 1950's dance floor.. FAIL!!! this pattern looks good on the tops of mini's not xBs or tCs, or any other Scion for that matter.

IMO do not do either.. would not look good on your car.

I was thinking about doing a hood vinyl for the longest time. I could never come up with something good though.

the evo's camo job is ghetto. its a silver car with black, white and gray stickers. these stickers dont even overlap nor touch. the Citroen's camo job (below the evo) is properly done.

Found this on a vw whoretex. the checkers work on this car because:
1. its a larger pattern
2. the rest of the car has a red and black theme even without the hood (which compliments the hood)

That just means that you should do it. If everyone liked the idea, well, what's the fun in that?

Same here. I have an extra OE CF hood sitting in my living room just waiting for some crazy paint/vinyl. Just need some inspiratto first.

yea. I found the place near me, and it's the same price for no matter what the design is, so I kinda got sucked into something crazier.

I don't know.
