I voted "kick ***," but I would also say "not on my car." Its cool, I wouldn't do it to my car, but I like it.

I used to have pinstripe flames on my Camaro years ago (purple), and they were ok, but I quickly tired of them. The skull with the flame integrated is cool, but I agree with the comments above about the rest of the skulls being too much. Maybe if they were located just above the gfx behind the door or something, they might not look quite so busy.

I agree with the above statements, I think there neat, but kind of busy for my taste. It would turn my head to look at it though..

I guess like simple things...

Maybe I'm too old...

Maybe I'm too old, but I no longer prefer the custom look. On new cars (I.e. less than 5 years old) I like the custom look.

On older vehicles I like that fresh showroom look. Seems that when the cars become classics (over 25 years old), the "original" look is more appealing than the custom.

This coming from someone who had a 95 Chevy truck that was a partial custom job

awesome if you're into the whole skull thing... I'm not, so i voted not on my car. But it's definitely orginal and someone did a really nice job with it. Is it a decal or painted on?

yeah it was a lot of work but i think it was worth it .......now that i think about the poll i set up making the "not on my car look like the bad choice was wrong.......cause a lot of people like it but just wouldnt put it on there car......


the great thing about it being vinyl is that i can take it off anytime.....


just in case ther eis any confusion it goes all the way down the car........

It is impressive and I salute the amount of work. Like most of the guys have said, It is not my individual taste but it is well done. I had a bunch of decals on my windows but like they said, I got tired of it. I tinted my windows and now the red car with the black windows looks tight. The only thing on my car is and slp ***** style window banner and a tiny Total Graphics decal.

The decal looks good on your car though. If you ever get tired of it I think it will take awhile. Good job.
