Ronal Firehawk Rim People with Formulas, you might like this decal! Opinions welcome

I think a lot of us who purchased the Ronal Firehawk Rims very much like the appearance of the real 91-92 Firehawks. I came across this on the internet the other day! I think it may be a great solution for some of you who want the look of a Firehawk, but dont want people riding your back about being a "poser" for sporting the firehawk door decals. The guy is selling the decal for $20 + 4 shipping. What do you all think of the decal? Thanks for letting me use your car; it's nice!

The $24 includes a rear bumper decal as well. No, the above car is not a formula, but yes, you would put it on a formula. I didnt have a straight even shot of the side of my car, but here is a picture of so you get the idea.

I think it looks good, but cloning a T/A, GTA, IROC, or Z28 is one thing. Cloning a firehawk is another. People will know its fake...

Yep, with the decal you dont have to deal with being a fake because you arent cloning anything.

I like the idea, I think it looks great too! Of course I'm all for it because it means that people will use this as an arternative to using an actual FIREHAWK decal

Good job

BTW, I hate that first pic It's so sweet it makes me wish my Firehawk came with gfx....

I got to playing around with Photoshop and took it a little further. I changed the redline to 6500 and added the new logo.

Sorry to keep tempting you! Why dont you just make a clone and modify that one! Oh ya, I forgot, we're not supposed to do that. DOH Hey could one of you all point me in the right direction to find the oilpres/temp white face template? I swear I've been all over the archives and I cant find one in BGG units (American PSI and F). Thanks!

92GTA, just hollar and we'll trade cars, then you can mod to your hearts content

Those white face guages might look great with the Firehawk logo and emblem in them, care to show us? Say the emblem centered in the bottom of the speedo and the logo on the tach? The emblem is this:

Thanks!

Sorry, I'm not going to advocate the modification of an original thirdgen firehawk. It would look cool tho!

We're not selling them... does that matter? I purposely posted those pics with low enough resolution so they wouldnt make good guages.

I like those dude...too bad they're useless. You can A) put them in a real Firehawk and we'd all kick you in the gonads or B) put it in your car and we'd all laugh at you for being a poser

I doubt you would have a problem anyway unless someone narked you out because I keep seeing people on eBay selling copies of the original 8 mintue Firehawk promo video which I know is VERY illegal because it is copyright RTM productions and SLP Eng. and they have not yet been busted. I have thought about calling them out myself but it's not hurting anyone and besides, I'm happy becauase I have an "original" of that video. They may have permission to distribute copies or they might not who knows...
