The last stop before our first weekend of racing was with Justin at Redline Design Custom Graphics in Tampa, FL. We have been working with Justin on a graphic design for our CRX for a few weeks, turns out it was pretty tough to come up with a good graphic scheme that worked well with the body lines of the CRX. Our CRX is also painted in a custom orange color that really stands out, especially in photos and we wanted to take advantage of that to make the car stand out at the track and at shows. After going through several revisions, we ended up going with something really simple and we are really happy with how it turned out. When we arrived at Redline Design, Justin was still cutting the vinyl, which was pretty cool to be able to see the cutter in action! Justin was kind enough to let us watch the entire process from the time he was cutting the vinyl to installing the vinyl on our car. The graphics really pop off the car which was one of our main concerns and we were able to keep our orange paint mostly uncovered to retain a clean appearance. Every decal on our car was custom made by Justin to keep our decals in harmony with each other and we cant be happier with the outcome, it was far better than we were expecting. Let us know what you think by commenting below!

Starting on the Passenger side now.



Anywhere there was a seam on the car such as the door jam, door handle or gas tank door, Justin carefully cut the decal and used a heat gun to wrap the edges to prevent any lifting in the future.






Our sponsors logos look great on the carbon hood of our CRX, each logo was custom designed to match the rest of the decals on the car.
