Default Tribal style Windscreen Shade

Wat do you guys think of it ? So far i dun think there is another guy here in singapore who has been crazy enuff to spend the kind of effort to do the same thing. Its more for looks and not really practical in the sense that it doesnt really blocks out the sun in the morning. :oops:

I draw the design from scratch and then took me an average abt 25 mins to do a pieces, which is to transfer the design to a sheet of vinyl and then cut it with a pen knife. I did the process twice, one of the black and another for the white.

The vinyls are then pasted on the inside of the windscreen so that they will last longer and not exposed to the weather. The Black onces goes up first and then the white one behind it but slightly lower to create a shadow-like image. Each piece is applied individually, there is no fast way of doing it. And here is the end results :

With the white backing applied :

All i can say, its more difficult to do than it looks. Comments pls.

I like it. The white under black is sweet. Does the image in the middle block your view? Would seem distracting to me.

Thanks ! The middle design doesnt really blocks my view in any way, but the little surf board air freshner hanging under the mirror sure does.
