Definitely not a bad design... do you have any shots from farther away ? It almost looks too small for the hood, but it may just be the up close shots

thats all i have right now, i just snapped those in the dark last night. im going to get more this weekend at the car show im going to. we couldnt go much bigger than that. his digital printer wouldnt print and taller than that in one piece. we could go wider, but it would stretch it out some. plus my heat extractors will get in the way if we go wider

to be truthfull about it, the reason i put it on there was because i have a bad spot on my hood and the clear coat was coming off. i dont have the money to have it repainted right now. when i get it saved up im planning on repainting and having it airbrushed in a little differant format.

That would look cool on the back between the taillights, if you took off the light blue outline and replaced it with a red like your car.
