Nice... not too sure about the roof graphic though. I think it would have to grow on me.

Like the Cooper sig in the bonnet stripe though - that is a nice touch.

So I guess you like the same ol thing that everyone else has.. The flags are nice but everyone can get one and I think they are boring. This is a one of a kind that I drew on a CAD program.

As always yor car looks great! Your grafic is orginal do not change it. Just tell everyone you have gas and don't light any matches around you or you will get a big blue flame. What size are rims and where did you did you get them? Pretty soon if you do not stop buying things for the car your wife will have you sleeping with it instead of in the house.

Doug the rims are 18" and the tires are 215/35/18 Toyo's. Got them at a new place called TK Performance. Got a GREAT deal on them. See you on the 5th. Got the Borla coming and will have that for the trip. Your right my wife already has me sleeping in the car.

Great picture Kool!!!

This is the kind of graphic that looks incredible when the car is moving fast. Can you imagine the treat you give all the trucks and SUVs when they look down and see those blue flames passing them by. :smile:

That is the finest custom roof design that I've ever seen. The lines are perfect, the color is perfect. And even with the sunroof open, you would still see flames. Very nice job.

The SUV's might like the graphic but they won't like his tag.

Not necessarily, Nobull. What I said was that I wasn't sure about it and that it would have to grow on me - just like anything new. Relax, it wasn't an attack on your car.

Incidentally, how did you get it made then if you drew it up on a CAD program? Is it the same construction as the factory roof flags?

I am personally struggling with whether or not I want a flag or something of my own design. My wife suggested a smiley face ("have a nice day...'" variety) but that seems a little goofy. My father (an enthusiast in his own right) says to be true to the heritage I need a Union Jack or checkered flag.

I've thought about it myself but then think of spending $400 on a sticker, I don't think so. I'm pretty sure Nobull's design cost him less than that.

B., Looked great at the Spring Thing (the MCS I mean, though I could say the same about you're wife ). Looks even better with the new wheels. My wife won't let me throw that kind of cash into mine.
See you Apr 5th.
