well now i dont have to explain it, i get alot more looks then the old one, and ive even pissed off a few people whenever i see one i point to the banner as i drive by em. but it makes more sense then KCUF(spell it backwards as you would in a rear view mirror)

Actually that wouldn't spell anything because all the letters need to be backwards.

Haha I'd suggest never parking your car anywhere other than your driveway.

You'll come out to find some 'key' autographs on your car.

Yeah, your just asking for trouble with that. Sorry, but I don't like the banner. The KCUF one looked better, but I still don't like that one too much either.

What's with the VTEC inside sticker? I'm guessing that you're goofing on ricers, but it makes you look like you don't know anything about cars. "VTEC inside" on a Camaro is just wrong.

Lose all the banners. You don't have VTEC, you probably don't have Nos, and the Anti-Ri ce is just going to get your paint keyed.

come talk to me at one of the gatherings.....

i can get you a really nice banner (if you'd like) of something decent for as cheap as possible depending on how elaborate you get. using those autostore piece together kits don't look quite right.

same thing with the wipers. what did you do with the stock ones? if you need some let me know and i'll pick some up at the yard. paint them a nice clean black and your good to go!

just let me know, it's all a phone call away. remember, it doesn't have to cost alot to look decent. i'll try to help you out the best i can.

Man, what were you thinking? That doesn't exactly make you look like an enthusiast to other people, just an ignorant jackass. You should have taken the time and done something useful to the car to make it more aesthetically pleasing....not the opposite . Take Kandied's advice. Let him do a nice banner for you. He seems to know what looks good.

you have to be signed up for the show. drivers class is the cheapest and if your going to attend one show day you might as well. i think it's around 20 for drivers class which you can then attend the mis gathering and you get a free t-shirt as well. you have a little while. i'm sure you can get 20 together.

bubba.......... a solid banner is maybe $20 at your local vinyl shop. just check with your local graphics dealer. it wouldn't be worth your money for me to make you one. you'd pay more just to ship it.

i don't like banners at all, i had them on my cars when i was in high school so i can't say much. but it definately shows the age when you see one.

however, there are some exceptions to the rule and if it's done tastefully i think it can look good. there are alot of people that show their racing loyalty by using banners to display shop names and whatnot which can work at times.

it all depends on the situation. it's your car, do what you like. when you get older and look at the past pictures you can yell at yourself then.

How about something like "Not Sponsored by Mommy and Daddy". To make that work, it would have to be in a really clean looking font, not a block letter font. Just tossing the idea out for you. If i had to put one on my car, that would have to be it, or something to that effect! lol

Didnt banners origionally start out on old cars (50 - 75) to give it that "chopped" look?

no, if they had the chopped look it's because they were.......that wasn't a popular body mod until years later.

it's an idea though. want to chop your car?

Yup

That is quite possibly the worst banner I have ever seen.

i have a GM factory accessory CAMARO window banner, that i think you could get special ordered on the car... nevertheless, they were available from the factory, and i have an ad with the banner on it already... it was for the 82-84 ones specifically and was white letters with clear centers... just outlines of the letters...

its still in the factory box, with the factory backing, instructions, and air remover/smoother scraper thingy
