I think it looks pretty good. You'd have to have it painted tho. The silver looks better then white, but you'd have to do a better looking grey/silver.

Pendragon is a master 'shopper and did those pics for me.

The graphics are raked more in the silver pic... I think they look better raked back like that.

I would need a better more vibrant silver for sure.

I'm not of fan of the graphics. I think you should leave the paint the way it is. It looks pretty bad *** in red.

I don't care for splash graphics myself. So I would say no to those pics.

Ever thought of doing the car in the IROC TA style graphics? I thought that looked good on a race car and helped give it a look of speed while sitting still .

I don't know if this link will work but : http://f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/cha...15.jpg&.src=ph

I like it, but personally I would do more of a chrome/silver to match the wheels and keep it flowing. Maybe some graphics on the hood to match?

I think if it was raked back more and look like the paint was ripping off it would give it a nasty look IMO. Maybee a little less silver.

Well on a drag only car it wouldn't be bad.. need something to break up the large painted area though.. maybe some STIKERZZZ

Be careful though.. graphics can get dated pretty fast..

Well hrm, I still like it for a drag car.

For those that don't like, is there any thing you would change to
make it different? (other than no graphics)



I hate how everyone is so pigeon-holed into thinking that
graphics = rice. Why is this so? Do you consider anything
other than a paint job rice? What about factory vinyl?
Is the 35th edition rice because it has vinyl stickers?

Granted, if you have some anime looking graphic, this could be
over the top, but flames, stripes, simple designs, why does this
get labeled rice?

Yes, my opinion is biased. I like graphics. That is why I work
with them.
