Graphics
what are your thoughts on graphics?
(i.e : exterior paint job, designs, etc.)

I did some on mine back in the day... i think if it's done right and not crappy it can be sweet... if i were to do anything... beside a custom airbrush job... i'd wrap it.....
http://www.auroragraphicsdvdsales.net/home.html
I'm pro graphics... some people don't like em... actually most people don't like em... but i can tell you ths... lets say you have two aleros side by side at an intersection... one is real clean, lowered, rims, dual exhaust, tint, stock body color.... and one has a full vehicle wrap on it... like the one on the truck with the checkered flag in it (i like that one)... which one is gonna get more oohs and ahhs.... and which one isn't even gonna be noticed. I think people who are totally against graphics just don't have any artistic eye... they only appreciate trends. meh... the best work out there is custom work... custom design, custom ideas....
granted this isn't a wrap, it's paint, but would you rather drive this... or a stock painted car...

Id rather drive the plain clean one as a dd cause whats the point of spending that much money on a custom paint job thats just going to be beat on?

pfft. granted everyone doesn't have access to the machines and whatnot like i do... but i could do a full body wrap on my ho for under a grand. I would print and install myself... but they don't cost that much these days. shop around... there are shops doing it relatively cheap casue it's a huge part of thier business.

scran what you drew, ive done that several times, on aleros i drew and on side shots of white aleros i printed out, lately i like the idea of the olds logo kinda slapped on the rear at an angle, with flames coming off the ends
flames are like the ones they sell to go around the ford oval

i like the second one best too but id have it kinda fade/end towards the back, that way for the graphic to be continuous and nice their would have to be a continuation on the rear or an abrupt end there, which is agianst my taste
