Did you do that on your own or have it done professional? If you did it yourself did you use a rattle can or gun?

dude...the dark blue looks sick...I love it...even in the hastel done photoshop...do it!...

the light blue...not a fan at all-looks girly

the charcoal/black/flat black/ gray....those all look way good but you see it a lot...

The dark blue is unique and looks way good. The CETA mod adds a ton of charachter IMO.

Yeah I really like the combo you have. I'm about to do mine soon, but being pewter with black lettering all around I'm probably just going to do black.

Thanks yeah I love the silver too, pewter looks badass with the right touchess too. Flat or semi gloss black would look awesome.

If your decals were darker blue I would vote for the darker blue NBM but they look light. From photoshoped pics .. I think the black would make your car stick out very nice.
