Widget 36 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) Wanna do something to my car but i am lost as to what to do and I am looking for some input as to what would look good. Wheels and tints are a given but wanting .... well dont really know what I want thats why I want input. I have had 2 sets of decals on it so far and not liked either of them. Dont know if I should go suble or in your face like coloured wheels and big decals. So input please. Edited November 7, 2012 by Widget Link to post Share on other sites
Greg_E 211 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 NEFDesign body kit and either black or white powder coat on the wheels. Open the headlights and anywhere that doesn't actually provide light should be covered in 3M black reflective material to black out the background but retain reflectors. Driving lights like the Hella FF200 mounted to the top of the license plate holder, paint them either black of white before installation. I think stripes that have a wider distance between them might look good, like centered on the windshield washer jets. Needs to wrap all the way down the front and all the way down the back. Probably in black material. In short I would do all monochrome with white as the base, black as the accent and as little gray as I could make. Widget 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Widget 36 Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 The nerDesign kit would be very expensive for me to get shipped over and painted. I love the look of it but in the pic it looks very plain. Think it needs a splash of colour to go with it. I have removed both sets of stripes that were on the car and i am now back to a plain canvas. Link to post Share on other sites

Widget 36 Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 Red stripes were manufacturer fitted. Called th e Sports tag pack in UK. Black ones I had made by a decal company. Have some plans for a sutble but visible look, and am planning on using the green vinyl for that, dont want to give too much away in case i dont like it. Link to post Share on other sites
jack 3 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I'm liking the carbon fiber green ones. Actually, I do like the white with black stripes too though. Are you going to put the green ones of there? Phil_Can 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Widget 36 Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) The green was for a scheme I was thinking of for highlighting small bits of the car in a bright colour, it wont be used for stripes. was thinking of just highlighting some small parts on the car like around fog lights, a small bit on rear bumper and maybe wing mirrors, but not sure how this will turn out.

Alyse 0 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 (edited) I think "blacking" out the Chevy Bow Tie would look really sharp. My husband did that with my Tahoe and it looks really sharp. I just didn't think the gold flowed very well. Edited November 22, 2012 by Alyse Link to post Share on other sites
Greg_E 211 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 If I was going to black out the bowtie, I would use black reflective material so it would glow in headlights. I have thought about doing this on mine but haven't tried it yet. Link to post Share on other sites
Widget 36 Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 Ah the Transformers Spark, I havent seen anywhere that actually sells that body kit but there were a few special dealer editions sold in the UK with those decals. They were all black with green decals and black wheels. Link to post Share on other sites
Greg_E 211 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Too bad they were cut from the movie, would have been some good exposure for our little cars. Link to post Share on other sites
