I think the concept it very cool, but the result would look a LOT cleaner if you pulled the panels and painted them white first.

yea i feel ya with the white panels, but its not done yet, every millimeter will be eventually covered, so it will look white with art one it

and in real life you cant even tell that there's any silver showing, it just showed up in pics like that for some reason

you can go to Borders or Barnes&N and pick up a book called stickerbomb, this one is actually stickerbomb2.
there is 280 stickers from artists all around the world in there...i decided to only stick with the back and white/sharpie looking ones for my dash, but man, there definitely is a lot of cool ones in full color.
book is about 25 bucks, but amazon has it too for cheaper, but i'm the kind that doesn't like to wait so i just picked it up there and then

Very urban!! Hey, and you didn't have to paint them. Will help if you ever need to go back to stock for whatever reason.

thanks guyz.

in pictures it shows up missleading, as its really hard to see any silver once sitting in the car, surprisingly the colors blend in very nice. i put a few more on there as well to cover up some obvious silver showing trough...

and funny thing is...i actually HATE stickers on cars, but this actually came to me and i said screw it, if it looks bad, ill just peel it off

i bet people sitting inside can get a sharpie and write a message and it will take me days to even notice it

That looks pretty sweet. Just needs a few more to cover the entire dash.
