Default Words on a Stripe!

Going to be doing some airbrushing on my stripes soon & wanted to get some opinions. I am open to suggestions, not too crazy about "camaro", seems a little generic but I put it up anyway. The main reason I am considering my username is because over the last year or so its become much more than just a username so thats what I am leaning twards. Please post up any other ideas you may have. Keep in mind the car will have ALL black wheels.

Username is cool but with the clover, like in your sig. Somehow get it on there.

That would be easy to airbrush, but I was worried about the green clover not showing up on the green stripe. Guess I can play with the outline a little....

iagree 100%. i really like how it looks with the username. and with the clover thing, that would look perfect.

the one in your sig has a black outline already, so with an extra white outline added to that it seems like it would make enough of a contrast.

+1 on your username with the clover. The clover is such a cool thing to tie in. I'd try using a darker green on the clover, with plenty of dark shadows and highlights, and also do a outer glow around it with a more yellow color to make it pop. BTW I love that you painted your a-pillars white too. Gives the car a whole new look! Definitely a favorite of mine on here!

Thanks, think it would look funny with the shadow behind the clover & not the other letters? The A pillars is what sealed the deal for me to paint the roof white, never liked the whole "canope" look it had with the black A pillars & body color roof.

I tried Z28, but thought it was a little too short & didn't flow too well.
