yeah, I definitely wanted something original and kinda busy. My friend who helped me had his valve cover painted bright lime green and used sticky stars in the same fashion for his turbo EF civic hatch.

I contemplated doing bare metal look for the guns, but opted for white because I love the contrast. My MR is white with black powdercoated BBS wheels, so the B/W contrast is a theme throughout the car.

I took a tile image to a local vinyl shop (about 5 shops actually) and had them digitize it and cut a large sheet.

Thanks for the comments, I figure you'd either love it or hate it, and I'm a huuuuge fan of rogue status stuff so it fits the owner.
