OK after getting a lot of opinionson a few different websites, it is NOT getting painted. Vinyl is staying. Thanks guys.

IMO flip it over w/ the blue on the bottom, silver on top

how is the suede in your car? Is it black and blue? Why not paint to match?

I'd consider the blue top, silver center, and bottom edge in blue as well to tie them together.
the headlights you can put smoked covers on if they bother you.
the vinyl can re reapplied later.. although it shrinks clearcoat so I dislike vinyl on cars with good paint.

I think blue on the bottom and silver on top might look better. Maybe with some custom silver graphics, tears, or somthing painted in the blue on the lower half. I think blue would blend better with the rims instead of the silver on the bottom too.

No, the vinyl isn't coming off lol.

So your going to peel the vinyl off or is starting to come off on its own?

Whatever you do next do it in paint ;)

haha

I like the current style really. The blue like you did makes the hood look larger and taller.

Im not much in the art department so I really cant give a good sugguestion, sorry.

I'm not sure if I like the blue on the hood, it makes the headlights stick out too much.

How would it look if you swap the blue and silver around?

by Justin from Detroit1 » Wed Nov 01, 2006 3:46 pm

The car would be silver and blue no matter what. I'm not changing the color scheme.
