Need opinion please!!!!!!!!!!!

[WWhittle]

Normally i would make these types of decisions myself, but i am going to get some opinions for once.

PLEASE ONLY GIVE YOUR HONEST OPINION!! THIS IS NOT SET IN STONE YET, SO YOU CAN NOT HURT MY FEELINGS!!

I really didn't want anyone to know what the car was going to look like, but oh well.

Tell me if you like this or not- i am still trying to decide on colors but they are really easy to change-
I also want to make sure that everyone "gets" a certain part of it.

Honestly. I like it. I actually was picturing you doing something more wild on it.Is that suppose to look like cf? If so , it will be different.

Of course I will like it as it has no tailpipes :cheers

Are you thinking of painting the wing to match as well?

One last thing I see wrong with the picture is that there is no battery cutoff on the rear :D

yes- it is carbon fiber- it fades to black in the back and the wing, wing struts, parachute mount, etc will all be powdercoated black.

lol- no parachute either and the wheels aren't right. probably some other stuff.
the wheels will be anodized black, the ring on the beadlock will match whatever colors i decide to go with.

[clubracergt1]

That is bad as shit!

here is a close up of the "tear" pattern. it should look pretty 3 dimensional. i like it so far.

I like the first and the last ones the best. I've seen other cars with similar colors on the 3, 4, 5 & 6. I'm personally not crazy about black wheels unless there is a decent amount of other accent color on them as well (I know you mentioned that). I like it simple. I love the scheme, though.

[BigdaddyDupree]

3 7 or 8

[Bradleyrj]

I like the concept. I REALLY like the riveted steel plate behind the carbon fiber. Who did the imagining? Looks like some of Todd @ Six4Designs work.

[LXtasy]

2, 7, 8 are the ones I like. Are you doing a full wrap or is it paint?

full wrap. but i still have a ton of paint to do. i am painting everything on the car that the wrap will not be on. painting entire bottom of car, all wheel wells and tubs, all the cage, engine bay, everything. all of the parts on the car will either be powder coated or anodized.

I like the in post #13. I think thay all look good though.

[KRYPTONITE]

My opion its looks good, just wonding y dont have the paint tearing off and roling to the back of the car, instead of just the tears.... plus throw some GREEN in there to

[blkscls1z]

#2 looks the best IMO. If you want a color instead of the rivets, then #1.

In my opinion anything with color looks to much like Tim Lynch especially #3 .

[WWhittle]

I like #2 as well , I like the rivet look .

In my opinion anything with color looks to much like Tim Lynch especially #3 .



i was wondering how long it was going to take someone to notice the similarity between this design and lynch's car. good thing is that lynch's car no longer looks like that since he wrecked it and they are changing the paint scheme. i ruled that particular one out anyway because it was so close to his old design.


i know alot of you guys like the riveted look but i am a little worried that it is a little played out. that was one of the first things everyone did when wraps became popular. i also thought it was a little "too much" with the carbon fiber background.


i appreciate all the opinions. and so far my favorite is the one in post #13 if it matters. i like the first one, but i really don't want the front of the car to be white. i also like #8 but if you took the shadowing away i think that is a baby blue. i don't really like the baby blue.

[KRYPTONITE]

HaHa i figured that was coming,,, what i mean is instead of having just the tears have the paint rolling off towards the back of the car

[WTFWSAT]

some people love black wheels, some people really hate them- i happen to love them. the first thing i picked out for my car the day i bought it was black wheels.

+1 for black wheels ! I always liked the Weld Magnums blacked out

Over all the design is badass, im just against white. I say #1 in the group with maybe a silver front faded to orange?

#7 also looks good

post 13 is also nice but too bright for my taste

stay away from # 3 it has Tim Lynch all over it

[Jeff]

Honestly it's hard to bring something new and fresh looks wise to the racing game . I think the only car I've seen in a long time that wowed me was Hollywood's car at the beginning of the season but now the flat black is played out .

My personal prefrence would be #2 but I think all of them would look good no matter what .

the weld magnums were the ones i always planned on doing but now i am thinking about the American Racing Trakstars. What do you think about those? Everyone has the magnums now.

#3 is definately out, i never even considered it.

i wanted some color but #13 is pretty bright. i still like it though.

you are right. it is hard to find something original to do, alot harder than i thought it was going to be. that's why i like the carbon fiber look, i haven't really seen anyone do that in combination with something else.

the riveted look was always the first thing i mentioned when working through this design, but i have just never really "loved" how it turned out. i still might consider it, but i want a little color too.

They have been great for me and i highly recommend them.
Which one is your favorite?


edit: here is their website www.stickerdudedesigns.com

[Darryl Buckner]

i have something worked out with them- im not worried about it. so which one is your favorite?

I kind of like #7, but I have a thing for light colors like white and gray. You are probably right though with post 13, because what you dont see in this rinderings is the cars red nose is a good place for that Proline sticker to go across, and the quarter windows and rear glass will also be covered with stickers and they are normally mostly white...

[slow04]

Paint the bitch silver.........

[BigdaddyDupree]

no matter what we say wes its your car and do what you want but the last pic that you posted up is my favorite.

[BigdaddyDupree]

paint it silver with blue scallops n put robert who on the back...... haha. do i still get to sweep the trailer?

[Pesce Nero]

i agree. but post 13 looks awesome too, reminds me of a fender stratocaster. maybe they will think so too, sponsor

[WTFWSAT]

the weld magnums were the ones i always planned on doing but now i am thinking about the American Racing Trakstars. What do you think about those? Everyone has the magnums now.

Looking at the Trakstars on the website i would still have to go with the Magnums. But then again with them being blacked out they would probably look pretty good.

There aren't many options out there for drag wheels; Greg Welds, old style Welds, American Racing and Bogarts. Are there any other companys out there im missing ?

Chris

[WWhittle]

yeah, great idea, then i could have a twin to my best buddies car and about 10,000 more just like it.

i saw those Trakstars blacked out on a car at Jackson during the last grudge thing and they looked pretty awesome.

i think you named them all that have anything decent except billet specialties. Those wheels are badass but i can't get them in the size/ backspace i need. I need 15x12 double beadlocked with 4" backspace. So i am limited a little more.
Those billet specialties would look awesome on your car though.

Sheppard will probably be on the front bumper. they have helped me out on their end a good bit but have hooked me up with some help from a few other people. its almost embarassing to admit i am getting some help because i haven't done anything to deserve it. one of my major racing expenses has been cut tremendously.
i probably won't put anybody on there at all until i get use to the car and work the new car bugs out. Neither sheppard or proline wants their name on the car while its running 5.30's i'm sure.

Do puzzle peices! I have a buddy back home that on the front of his boat is puzzle peices "under" the flames.. kinda like what would be under the tear on this design.. have a few pieces of the puzzle flying off towards the back of the car..

Then you can put "Lookin for a Piece" across the back of the decklid!

[WWhittle]

that was the first design believe it or not. i still have the file somewhere. it is an awesome idea, but hard to make look right with the bodylines of the car. i bet it would look killer on a boat though.
my old tag will be on the car- i am sure that will be a topic of conversation since it isnt very traditional in organized racing to talk shit with something so blatently. but i'm gonna be in the staging lanes trying to get a pot up every round anyway.........lol

By the way Wes, when we going racing?:bigthumb:

i hope that my first race is the stock suspension race Jackson is going to have in March. The second race will be ORSCA season opener at the end of March in Alabama. I don't have high expectations for the first couple of races but if i can go out there and run 5.20's every pass on cruise control i will be happy. i will get my head kicked in running 5.20's but i need to get my feet wet. after that i should be up there with anyone in the country on radials. (i hope)

I wear a 2x crew shirt....

believe it or not, i am suppose to have matching crew shirts for anyone who wants to go to the line with the car!!! That's crazy!! it's not the damn NHRA!

[perm102]

I like this one too.

http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb6/weswhit/MUSTANG_2000_WES_Whittle_Scallop_2.jpg

man- everyone likes that one- even the guys that designed it liked that one best- might need to reconsider it a little more serious.

the design you recommend is basically what it is- its not really the paint ripping off but the carbon fiber ripping off and the paint showing threw.

I believe the idea is that the car is going so fast that the shit is coming off. hell, i don't know, but it looks cool as shit.

[WWhittle]

here is an upclose picture of that design- still like it????

Those Billet Specialties Comp 5 wheels would look killer....i dont know if i could paint those black though. haha

You could always send them off and have beadlocks added...but why spend the extra money i suppose.

the backspace is the problem. i don't think they make a 15x12, 5x4.5 bolt pattern with a 4" backspace.

i actually had the original billet specialties wheels back when the car was gonna be another grudge car and was going to powder coat them black but i ended up selling them.

and sheppard does beadlocks in house, so i always have that option.

[EZ03]

Post #13, just make the nose bright red and fade back to light orange. You know, going so fast that the friction is making the nose on fire.
JM2C!

i like that idea- i would tweek the red a little if i picked that one for sure.

i also want to ask them to do a silver to blue or a blue to silver. silver like a mustang and the darkest part of the blue being like my 07 vette. i can't remember what the name of that blue was.

I still like it but you almost have to see it in person on a car to really see how it turned out. I see what you are saying about the paint flying off but I guess it would look different where the colors are changing. More of a blowing off of the car like it can't stick to the paint because of the speed vs. being torn like that.

What about a weathered look under the carbon like it was just painted over and now it is coming through? Something different.

Either way, it should look killer when done.:bigthumb:

[EZ03]

i

Red, orange, lighter orange, then to soft yellow. Also have some of the cf coming off like burning amber.

The blue to silver would look good also.

[Pesce Nero]

Wes, are you going to the PRI show? and i still vote for #13 although i think they would all look good if the fade goes dark in the front to light. the ocean blue looks good to if the blue started a little darker in the front

Well wes being as your best bud on this site i would have to go with either the riveted panel looking one or the one where the tears is silver and i did recognize the similarities in lynchs car still looks good i dont really like the colored tears to much


Carolina Kid

[clubracergt1]

That's funny, Hal. I was loving the riveted panel look; but thought of that truck for some enhancements under the tear. However, the one with the riveted panels coming apart into the red/orange is my new favorite. Stickerdude does some awesome work. Saw a lot of their cars at Route 66 in Joliet, IL-close proximity and all that. Never seen one I didn't like.
