your gonna find on here that many are not fans of decals. So with that said, take whatever is said in the several post to follow with a grain of salt and remember it's your car, it's your taste and what you like.

On a white car I'd go with silver or gray unless you have another color theme thing going then go with that color. Of the choices I'd go with Modern 1 or 2, but again I too am not a fan of large side grafix.

if I HAD to pick one... i'd have to say Modern 1

They all are kinda funky, but that one draws the eye best.
I LOL at the big spider. no offense. :P It's too heavy at the back of the car anyway.

And are all the aspects gonna be 1 color? B/c that makes a HUGE difference on how they look.

thanx for the info...i'll take it too heart!! there are some other smaller options, pin stripes and fast stripes, etc... that would look better. just figured that i'll take advantage of the deals the sponsor's givin me.

smlzalero · 03-28-2005, 01:40 AM

^ Heck yeah

03-28-2005, 01:43 AM

I agree... my first choice is Modern 1. Second would have to be Ice Splash. Others don't look too good to me.

you have any other trim colors inside or under the hood to base your decal color decision on?

03-28-2005, 01:55 AM

yeah....definately mod 1 is the best out of those, now that i look at them again.

i did some more looking with the options given to me and found these....

[attachmentid=5605]
Accent Stripe

[attachmentid=5606]
XDNA

[attachmentid=5607]
Stripe 1

[attachmentid=5608]
Swoosh Stripe

i have green neon lights under dash and as a cd player accent that flashes to the beat...it looks hot...i'm gunna have to show some pics...so i'm trying to stick with a green theme....but i might change it.

If the car's white.... you could get IceSplash in brown with pieces of grass...... lol

Ok I like the Swoosh Stripe best out of al of them

03-28-2005, 01:57 AM

Accent stripe isn't too bad. I'm of the school that thinks less is more.

And the swoosh is growing on me if it's a subtle color and not loud or has too much contrast.

smlzalero · 03-28-2005, 02:05 AM

I think the accent stripe is too high. It's allright if it gets placed lower... but I'm not sure it's the right style for that.

And I agree about the swoosh not being chartreuse.... unless the car is chartreuse...

03-28-2005, 07:42 AM

yeah, i've been up all night (night shift with USMC) looking at what i can do to my car with the graphics....and i've got an idea with the swoosh stripe.

i'm going to go with a dark gray color and get a custom decal made of "Alero" in a pretty good lookin' font. let me see if i can get a pic in for ya....

[attachmentid=5611]
Swoosh Stripe
(it will be dark grey, i tried to touch it up but couldn't get it in a supportable file extention)

[attachmentid=5612]
this is the font that i want to put on the swoosh right behind the front wheel well, the color would be white.

i drew it on paper.....the joys of being a graphic designer!!.....and it looks HOT!!

tell me what you think!

03-28-2005, 07:47 AM

hold on.....i uploaded the wrong graphic......

[attachmentid=5614]
[attachmentid=5615]

there we go....put those two together....obviously the font is going to be smaller...LOL...but i think it'll look good.

I like the black widow. We also got sponsored from DecalKits.com and went with the Jungle Superman.

03-28-2005, 08:19 AM

hell yeah man.....that looks good!! i was looking at that....but i'm gunna let be your style...i don't want to steel the rug from your feet! i think i'm going to like what i'm cookin up

justinusaf · 03-28-2005, 08:22 AM

Are you going to get the decal outlined? I dunno if you can see it but there is a silver outline around the black. If you want yours outlined you have to call them and let them know ahead of time that you want it outlined and you have to send additional vouchers.

03-28-2005, 08:39 AM

i was looking at that....yeah, i think i am going to do that.

how did you end up with their sponsor?

03-28-2005, 08:58 AM

since i'm going with a green theme (green neons inside) would it be good to get a green outline with the dark grey graphic? i'm also thinking about getting the smaller swoosh black and the bigger one grey? hmmmm....we'll see though...

03-28-2005, 09:10 AM

Cant anyone that applies get a sponsorship from them?
