Please help us with the AF 350Z Project

Hi Everyone!

I am hoping to take advantage of our very talented graphic arts community in helping us create the exterior styling of the AF 350Z Project.

I think that this is a good image to use for the car:

Additionally, front and rear shots are available:

The car will most likely not use any visually enhancing exterior components, so please do not modify the body of the car.

My idea is to have the decals maintain the gold/brickyard color scheme of the car, which means that the decals should all be the same gold color. However, feel free to sway from this guideline, as I would love to see what you guys can come up with! Many of the companies above have logos but others simply use their name.

Please feel free to ask any questions you have regarding this matter.

I am currently contemplating how we will thank you guys materially for helping us.

how does this look. i couldn't get the Amuse logo on it. there is a lot of logos on it. i made it two tone so that it wouldn't seem that there was that much. also i am to lazy to go back and fix the red in the players run logo..but i ment for it to be the "brick" red you wanted.

This isn't ment to perfect this is just my idea of how i would do it.

:eek7: WOW

That is quite impressive.

My dislikes:
-overall look appears to be a bit cramped
-I would like to see "AutomotiveForums.com" including the .com part and also the 'waviness' takes away from the seriousness of the car.

I really did not expect such great work to be posted so quickly though. That is really good. :smile:

yea i agree that it does look cramped. i tried not to make it look like a race car with sponsor decals all over it but there is a lot that you wanted on there....ill put the .com in it if you want to see it and also i didn't understand the waviness you are talking about. i will fix that also....as soon as i know what you are talking about :biggrin:

The skewed look of the "Automotive Forums" text.

Here's my "entry"

here is my new and (hopefully) improved one...

Now that I think about it, it may be better not to have AutomotiveForums.com and Players Run on the side of the car - there is plenty of room on other parts of the car's body.
That will hopefully uncramp the space to make it a bit more 'elegant.'

eh i just put some random shit together, it doesnt look all taht good, but ah well, i'll do somethign later on...

I hope you like it.

went for the clean approach

I redid the wheels too because they look more yellow before and i wanted the decals to match the wheel color. BTW Advan TCII are sick. I came sooooo close to getting those in gunmetal 18"... I ended up with Advan Kreuzer ser V gunmetal which look really similar.

without stickers http://www.njsr.org/pics/albums/userpics/10170/af-350z-stickerless.jpg

heres mine. its kinda simple. the scale of the decals are kinda large but hopefully you get the idea. i dunno its 5 am i havent slept in like 28 hours. so good night.

could you put a view of the car from the top, front, and back. I would put the players run logo on the hood

Sorry, doesnt work with what Igor said.. "The car will most likely not use any visually enhancing exterior components, so please do not modify the body of the car."
;)

Thanks so much for changing the wheels illracer, I could not find non-image versions of the Advan TC-IIs as a direct side profile. This is exactly the kind of stuff that I am looking for. You and wishihadar34 have it right on.

Let's eliminate the AF and Players Run texts and see how the other decals could be arranged.
Thanks so much guys, this is incredible!

just a bump :)

Are you still taking ideas? How about something along these lines:

Late to the party I guess.

Here's my idea:

http://dangeruss-industries.com/AF350Z.jpg

definately taking ideas!
These look great.

Those last two look great. I like the idea of introducing some black paint to the body. I like the one currently in use but it looks a little 'thin'

A little change in gears, I understand... but with the recent confirmation of the BBS RE wheels going on the AF Project as well as advise from several other people in terms of color scheme, I have decided to dump the 'gold' look and stick with silver and red (and maybe white).

<img src="http://www.automotiveforums.com/350z/img/af-350z-BBS.jpg">;

and go with the following sponsor logos, that'd be great!

Vortech
BBS
StopTech
XERD
Yokohama/Advan
HKS
Tilton
Street Sports
SR Racing

Hey Igor. Is there any chance of putting a Veilside Ver. 3 body kit on it? I personally think that kit makes the car.

I might do a chop with that just to see what it could look like.

good choice igor, love the bbs's and silver should look way better than gold. I might try again.

Those alloys look great. Are they off the 360 CS?

sorry for the late entry, but here is something quick i did.

Im too lazy to submit, but i am totally behind this sweet idea. . . Please use this chop. . . .

Yeah I think dangeruss's submission with silver and maybe black instead of gold, and the bbs wheels, with an adjustment of the sponser names would be sick. Don't know if i'll get around to chopping that.

Looks like you should be in need for speed.

Nice work, I found a site that lets you do this for free
