can you get it in vinyl decal instead, i know its different, but there is no way i'd buy a car that had aftermarket graphics like that.
theres a black FRC on ebay with a bunch of sh*tty pinstriping painted ALL over it, hood, hatch, ect. totally ruined the car. time you get done cutting it and buffing and reclearing, you get the point.

if i bought a car with that on it, it would strike up major worry about if the job was done right, and if it would start to bubble, ect in the future.

not worth it IMHO, especially on something that small.

Mine is the decal - bought it from Nineball and had ShouldaboughttheZ put it on. It isn't perfect from 2 feet away, but from 10 feet away I think it looks killer.

i'd much rather get it painted then a decal

i have no intentions of selling the car, if i planned on selling it i would have left it stock.

thanks for the advice but i've made my choice.

if you do get the paint, then you will regret this decision for the rest of your life.

this is the internet, and everything i say goes.

most places charge about 4-500 for an entire hood ... I need to get my hood repainted and have been looking into getting the manta done as well
