Guest Sakura Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Mines a 'Classic(!)' silver. The graphics are black, I thought it may suit the wheels, windows and spoiler as they are black'ish? ( As a couple of other members have said, it's your car and you should do what makes you happy. Everyone has different ideas about what looks good. I wouldn't go too mad though - and at least they can be removed if you change your mind later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pink Lady Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Personally i like , but apparently i have dubious taste !!! Glad to hear we both got dubious tastes John. I like it.It looks the biz. I have recently had airbrushed graphics to "tone" my car down Mandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 From looking at the pics of your car it probably won't look that out of place, how much of the bonnet will be covered by the graphic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bonnet will be 20X20 inch - I think it will be OK as the Supra front end is huge. Tom D, when I've stuck the graphics on and if it looks pants, I will drive down to you and give you the pleasure of peeling it off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 The bonnet will be 20X20 inch - I think it will be OK as the Supra front end is huge. Tom D, when I've stuck the graphics on and if it looks pants, I will drive down to you and give you the pleasure of peeling it off! I'm sure it will look fine, I ment no offense, just gave an opinion, as being in essex and near the seafront it's chav central and so many of them have put graphics on there cars and ruined their cars even more! but It's probably due to cheap graphics and bad fiitting. But with things like this, its only once you see it in the flesh that you can appreciate it and it might look really good, well it's on an already great car so you can't go that wrong! I think you'll have to go all out on the car and make it look like a show car, as I said previously if it's on a show car then it's ok as with show cars everything is changed and it all seems to merge together and not look out of place. As bobbeh said, if its on a stock car it would look pants, but you've got a nice kit on the car already so it will probably complement the kit and spoiler. Once this is done though what will be next?

SupraStar 3000 Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Here ya go mate, I'd recommend a light grey or frosted vinyl like below. hope that helps http://www.david.c.c.btinternet.co.uk/Resources/graphics2.jpeg http://www.david.c.c.btinternet.co.uk/Resources/item1a.jpeg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supRo Posted February 14, 2005 Author Share Posted February 14, 2005 no worries, I appreciate your comments Tom. I think I need to get a new spoiler. It's a C-West Alu spoiler but it is the size of a park bench and weighs like one! I was cleaning the boot last week, the wind blew and the extra weight on the Boot lid made it fall on my head...I cut my lip and chipped a tooth, felt like a right wally especially as a nice lass was walking by! Future mods..I would have loved to do full respray as I had the roof and rear quarters done as there was a bit of rust but the bodyshop advised me to leave it as it is! In terms of engine mods..I stepped into a 600 BHP Supra once and it scared me! At the moment it's about 330, going to take it to about 380 and see how it goes...

Guest Sakura Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 I really like that greyish version. It looks quite subtle. I wish I had the patience to learn to use Photoshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terribleturner Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 The photoshops look good. The lighter gray looks best, but i'm not offended by the black ones either. If anything i thing the side dragon is slightly too small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 The colour I did on my silver soop is "Gunmetal" which has a metallic look. http://www.david.c.c.btinternet.co.uk/Resources/dscf0068.jpeg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesC Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 SupraStar - im really impressed with your graphic skills, ive tried to do stuff in Photoshop too, but i just get pissed off and start shouting at it - never mind, i guess thats why its your job and not mine!! I remeber you saying you made that SupraStar font. Did you do that with a graphics tablet and drawing it or is there some easy kind of way to do it?

SupraStar 3000 Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Cheers James, Photoshop isn't that hard to understand, besides, if I can use it anyone can. You should see me with a monkey wrench and socket set. Its horrific I have the official 'Supra' logo which is vectorised but I can send you any style or variation of logo/file, but it isn't a font so each letter needs drawing. What are you after mate?

Bobbeh Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Will my new graphics be 'Chav'??!! YUP Why are door stickers considered chav? People have being doing that before the word chav even existed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
