I'll take some tomorrow. But basically, it's got a *lot* of paint chips from driving on the DC beltway. Other than that, it's Cosmos (metallic) Black all around, roof included.

I'd appreciate any ideas! (from anyone!)

I'm a fan of the Viper Stripes. Something in silver would look good on your car. I would at least add them to the boot and bonnet, don't know about down the roof too. Might look a little out of place.

I am sorta debating those for sometime in the future (a little more distant future) in addition to a slight change in design for my roof graphic.

Paul,

I have a similar problem so I am going for the checkmate bonnet stripes. I hope it covers the ugly I don't want to see.

Chips all around the front, as in, to cover them up you'd want a whole nose wrap?

Paul, what about some flames around the bonnet to mask those chips?

That guy with the ghost flames I saw in the MTTS pics look really really slick.

While I'd like to do something like that, I don't think that I could afford it! Plus, I'd have to put on a heck of a lot of vinyl in other places to make it look 'complete'.

Just don't go doing a "MINI pyjamas" vinyl wrap theme on your MINI too... our eyes are still stinging!

Where did this happen. I wanna see.


Paul
I think the ghost flames are one of my best designs. I think we could probably do something a little more custom too. I can even do somthing that would look like painted flames if you want.

Here are my Ghost flames.

I would love an appointment on Sunday, maybe the 1 o clock spot? My ladyfriend was corresponding with you via e-mail for my hood stripes. Is there a photo example of what VA standard tint looks like?

is tint good for both days? I think I'll bring both cars up....the MINI for tint and vinyl and the Legacy for a retint (metallic Llumar tint + Class D subwoofer amp = no FM). I'll call tomorrow to chat about the tint work.

I hope I don’t sound too stupid for asking this, but what did you mean by “12 volt installs”? Is this a particular part and for what?

That is the type of "electricity" your car uses for the radio and such things.

he means audio or stereo stuff. '12 volt' is a catch all phrase for anything having to do with audio gear (or sometimes lighting too).

Thanks for clearing that up Patagonian. I wasn't sure if it was a generic or not. And thanks for your 2 cents also Jay. I'm sure I come off not knowning much, but I do know that 12 volts had to do with the electrical.

My time schedule has been updated. There are still quite few folks that have not secured a time spot so please make sure to do that. Also the dead line for payment of graphics is tomorrow. If your design has been finalized and a time set than make sure to get paid up to insure the 15% discount.

This does not apply to the couple of folks that I'm still working on a design at this point.

You guys Rock Thanks again for making this happen another year.
