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.

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.
