That looks nice, but I am unclear to the legality or appropriateness of using a design that GMMG created from scratch.

I'd assume that as long as it doesn't have names or badges associated with GMMG that it would be fine. I mean look how many people have made there cars similar if not close to identical to 4th gens like Tom Henry and Berger. Nor would the car have the same fenders/rims/badges, ect. BUT you get an idea of how white w/ orange stripes will look on a 4th gen and regardless its not always good to be a copy-cat

Wow 687 votes. Looks like I will be dropping off the car for paint this weekend or early next week.

I'll keep it in mind, but plan to do the vintage theme at this point.

wow, this looks amazing!
but that would be replicating from GMMG, you'd have to get authorization from them to use this idea. but something similar to this setup would be freakin awesome! with the Sunoco hood, I think some kind of stripes along the side of the hood would look great

I seriously doubt that. You could almost certainly paint any car to look just like any other; I cannot fathom an applicable civil "law" that would be prohibitive. Copyright? Nope. Trade Mark? Maybe, but doubtful. Did they apply for and receive a trademark for a modified Chevy Camaro body style and paintjob? I don't know but I'd wager against it. I also seriously doubt they could somehow trademark DH's name, especially in relation to a Chevy Camaro paint scheme.

Also note that the car won't be a widebody and, hell, the hood will be made by VFN (who obviously didn't have any trouble copying the design to make money even), so right off the bat what you suggested can't be true.

Not that I'm a lawyer or anything.

I agree with most part, especially that it was not copyrighted and all. but I don't think it'd go very friendly and respectably by using someone elses design and changing it up a bit to where it doesn't represent them at all.

Well I guess Yenko is pissed off that GMMG used their design, "changed it up a bit" and now it doesn't represent them at all...
