I'm sure this is going to catch a lot of flaming but I'm hoping everyone will be mature enough to give me an honest opinion. I'm pretty much done with the outside apperance of my car (not doing a body kit) and now I want to add some sort of graphic design. My friend who owns a graphic shop wants to place a really kick ass Dragon with every imaginable detail on my car. The price is right but Dragons are used a lot. I'm not sure if I want to cross this line between Racer and Ricer and I'm sure that will push me over. Give me your honest opinion and like I said from the start, be mature and don't flame.

 

the only reason you would wanna go with graphics is to possibly gain some extra points at a show, if you are NOT doing a body kit, im gunna have to say i think you shouldnt go with any graphics scheme, keep it clean

*that was as nice as i could possibly be*

 

What kind of car, pretty much anything besides airbrushed art has no merit in my book.

If your going with something graphics wise maybe a thick pinstripe with a design inside. I saw one car with gold leaf pinstriping with a design outling it ... looked pretty sweet but it was an older car.

Whatever you do, subtle is always key to making something look nice. Good luck man.

 

Car is a 99 Ls with Type R Wing, Black Rims, Black tint, and a Carbon Fiber hood with Two hood scoops. The graphics will be done in black (maybe some red).

 

the car sounds pretty clean looking, dont ruin it

 

I agree with him, but if you are going to do something on that car don't do anything large. Something that flows along the lines of the car will be the only thing i can suggest. The dragon idea is waaaay played out, honestly I don't know why it started...maybe some japanese thing. Go for what you like, but try to do it within the lines of the car. Hopefully it turns out good and gets you some originality points at shows, i love originality but I think some airbrushing would be the best if you can.

 

Just say no.

 

simply put, thanks

 

I'm not a big fan of graphics...even less of a fan of "dragon" graphics. If you do it though...keep it as simple as possible.

 

I hate when people put dragons and stuff on their car but that is just my opinion!! Like pretty much everyone else has said keep it simple and considerably small!!!
