What is it exactly that we're supposed to be thinking of? Those are definitely some good pics. Are these prospects for a new purchase or are you referring to the Stinger(or whatever it's called) vinyl?

Not really a fan of it. Here's a car that actually has it painted on:

Ahhhh, now I see. I've never actually noticed that done before. I'm sure I've seen pictures of cars that had it done. I just don't pay enough attention to detail. Now that you've brought it up though...I'm digging it. Seems kind of senseless on a darker car, like the NBM one in the pics you posted. But on a lighter one it looks great. It's awesome looking on that orange one.

***Edit***
Just had to add that in my opinion it, like every other mod is application based. I'd only do it if it fits the color scheme that you are using.

Looks like the car has two black eyes to me. Kinda dumb looking but that's only my opinion.
