Okay, I decided to say f*ck the decal for my CRX and I'm gonna get a design painted instead. Here's the problem: I have no imagination or artistic abitlity. So I was wondering if anyone had any ideas what would look good on my car (I dont want to copy the design, just have something to start with and give it my own personal touch :D ). Keep in mind I'll have a Metallic Black CRX with a Silver design, and also I dont want flames or dragons or anything tacky like that, just something that looks sharp. Also, it's gonna be for the sides, not the front or rear. Thanx all, have at it :frog:

Well, here's a design I was thinking about putting on my hatch:

Here's the full pattern:

Now, where the checker pattern crosses the windows, I was going to cut the tint so it matched the pattern... Anyways, try something like that, a design that crosses the windows and cut the tint to match. I think that'd be hella cool.

Is that freehand or is it off a CAD program or something?

Dude you need to get your hands on Photoshop so you can do some real damage.

go to an airbrush artist...they can do things from cartoon looking all the way to a copy of picture. they also know how to do things like flames, paint curling back, rivets in metal plates...

when i lived down in cali there was "a guy" all he did was cars. if you could imagine it, he would put it on your car (on/under hood, dash, door jams, or the whole car). he had really reasonable rates which made him very busy :)

ask around. i'm sure you can find the go-to guy

LOL, thats originally where I was gonna get my decal from. I can't seem to find anything that really grabs me. I need something that I know will look good on my little car and a design that wont get old. But thanx tho, appreciate the help :frog:

well if you order from them, they will cut them to size for ur crx, they arent just universal.

personnaly i like something that starts before the front wheels and ends behind the rears.
