Title: Car graphics; cool or gay?
Post by: turbo boy on August 08, 2008, 05:44:00 PM
Hi everyone, my fds not gonna be ready for the weekend but i knew that anyway, i`m still going tho. This will be my first RS, can`t wait! My question is; what does everyone think of havin graphics on your car? I can`t decide on subtle pinstripes or just saying f**k you and havin cheesy tribal tats! When i drive through the streets i want people to stop and stare in disbelief! I want mums to sheild their childrens eyes from the horror! lol. I tell you one thing tho, im gonna get some serious ideas on sunday.:cool

I like the top half a different colour to the bottom on a FD or maybe a pinstripe but in general, the verdict is.........................








Gay.

In fairness Ash, your car looks good with the whole manga-thing - but a lot of cars with randomly chucked on pieces of plastic look total wank and just say \'the person driving this car is a ****\' to me :D

Think you need the hole package if your getting vinyl, Ashrx has got the looks and the muscle to back it up, looks and sounds brilliant! (I`m talking about the car here guys).

As with anything if its done right it works.  If its a few stickers chucked on with no thought then it\'ll look crap.

If its on its got to be a full scheme designed for that car.  A couple of ebay specials aint gonna work!

Entirely down to personal choice, some people despise them, some people love em. IMO they\'re fine on the right car but I wouldn\'t put them on mine due to preferring the minimal look :)

IMO any graphics spoil the lines and curves of the car, but if you\'re going for the shopping list look or gaphics look it can be done right but IMO its OTT. Again as said before each to their own... opinions are like aholes; everyones got one, just some smell more than others!

all of the above dude
also if you change your mind in 12 months time and peel them all off you might be able to still see where they were ,like when the signwriting is taken off a van you can allways still see it.
 be a good excuse for a respray tho!!!

Bad:

I think you get the picture :) Although I think if you do something subtle its ok, but nothing off the shelf, on my other Mazda I have some japanese Kanji custom made saying \'bushido\' rather than buying \'red hot\' or other nasty stickers from Hellfrauds of the bay of E.

wish lists are a big no no! they were cool to start but then the chavs got hold of them and plastered their nova\'s in HKS and greddy stickers!!
 
some graphics CAN look ok but deffo nothing from any of the fast and the furious films and especilly nothing you can just go buy from halfroads!! get some specially made up and you might be able to pull it off though.
