I was gonna wait and make it a surprise, but since you insist I'll definately get a lot of onlookers with this.



Of course, that's just the print. It looks a lot better on the car itself. With black bonnet stripes instead of the current whites.

Awesome!!!!

That looks so good!!!!!! Can not wait to see it on Estrella! You could get some "stripes" done the back continuing the line of stars-bring it a subtle end.

Since people are uploading there's I'll upload mine.

Even better than what I had pictured!

That's a great idea with the stars continuing down the boot! Maybe if Mike's feeling frisky he could do up a quickie ??? If not, I still love my roof

What's a magritte Painting? I would need a high res image file or something I can scan. It take about a week to print and get shipped out unless you are joining the install party.

PM me if you have any other questions.

Is it too late to get in on the group order?

I have some Star Wars graphics for the bonnet and sides as Adobe Illustrator files (completely scaleable). I am still trying to decide on the roof graphics. I was thinking of just applying the graphics to the sunroof sans white cover to really make them pop against a the dark background of the glass. The graphics I have (Rebel Alliance and Incom logos) would be the easiest and most cost effective, but I am really thinking that artwork with an X-Wing fighter would be the best although I know it would be more expensive.

Please let me know if I can get in on this. And here's a line you've all heard before... my check for group membership is in the mail!

Great job on the smurfette roof and flowers on the bonnet! Let me run it by my wife - looks like I'll be doing two orders with you. Any problem with getting both installed when you are out here?

Thanks,
Marty

Do you want tint done too? I'm working on having the work done @ a tint shop and the owner said he would allow us to. If I got 3 or more people to get tint done. So far I have 2 people for tint. Tint for the car is $150.

That would be great to do both your roofs. I will be setting up an official intall thread today with time slots. With the amount of intrest that I have I will set this up for three days. All orders will need to be placed from my website at least one week prior so I have time to print everything.

Do you have their phone number? I would like to talk to them about getting this set up. Maybe I can talk them in to giving you guys a discount as well.

That's how much he charged for the integra and that was a special they were running! My b/f at the time talked him down to do a lower tint for about $130 He haggled well.

I am assuming that this tint shop is in or near Bowie, MD, which means I get a nice drive in Red 5 from Ellicott City. Can they do the tinting on a weekend? I have a new job in Rockville and I do not have leave time accrued yet, so getting it done during the week is not possible right now. What warranty and guarentee do they offer?

My apologies if that causes any difficulties.

I believe the date for this planned vinyl and tinting is Oct 15&16. The operation will occur in Laurel. A bit closer to you then Bowie.

As for the tint. Yes it is warranted against discoloration and all the usual things. This guy has been in business for some time and I have had mine and several friend's car's tinted without a problem.

To be a little off-topic here, this morning on my way to work, I was thinking about the tint and got really excited. When the windows are tinted, my car will become my own personal Kareoke Stage.

You may continue on.
