need 2nd opinion on graphic

Post by FT08LB »

It's a little too much like mine...

I'll be adding a white strip up the middle early next year.

Either a thick one for Viper stripes

Image

Image

Or thin one for Cobra stripes.

it's going to be a silver stripe, but on the paint program the closest i could get was grey and AJ yeah it will look a bit like yours but if you get the stripe down the middle it won't :P I did consider red and black but i thought the silver stripe would go well with the silver decals on the side.

Black will look better than the silver/grey imo. The single wide stripe looks too much (AJ's pic), so if you are going to do it, dont make it too wide.

    Yep, thats me. Get new ones from Mitsubishi Japan. Not cheap, but substantially cheaper than Mitsubishi Australia. End up at around $200 (Mitsi Australia charge over $400.

      OMG I GOT JIBBED! I PAID $205!! :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :tongue:

      Regarding the stripe - If you wanted something a little different, I think a black vented bonnet evo style bonnet on your car would look s3x!
      There's a pic of a Jap FTO with a black evo vented bonnet around somewhere, maybe somebody has a link to it they could put up, I'll look for it too.

      :lol: I did say "Around $200" . and the $205 included the postage to you as well. Yours was actually $190 to get to me. Besides, its all driven by exchange rate and that changes from day to day so is a bit of a lucky dip really....

        i reckon the bonnet looks good but i would never get a black one on a red car, i just don't like the look of different coloured panels, still deciding whether i should get one thickish stripe with two small stripes along the side, like in my image or whether i should get two thinner stripes like on that silver car and whether the stripes should be black or silver

        lol epic fail, seriously. That 2 light/dark colour matching completely destroyed the car.

        Though the racing stripes DO add 80kwatw who cares about looks right?
