I realize that most people are not gonna want to run out and vinyl their vehicles after seeing this. If they did more (as in more than zero) cars would sell with vinyls like these applied. That's ok though. I am never satisfied with the norm and I dig a crazy look.
The pictures really don't do it justice though. The stickers are actually even more subtle than they look in the photos. In an environment with little direct light the color is almost the same as the paint except not metallic of course. In fact the color is slightly darker in indirect light. Any other color would have been to flashy IMO. In person, I think 90% of people don't even notice the stripes.
The chip is more of a reflection of who I am than anything else. (Read: Computer Nerd) I wanted something that had part me in the scheme without being to weird. I also wanted something TOTALLY wild but still tasteful. It's easy to go too far when those are the goals for the job.
I can't drop it. I am not responsible enough to remember not to touch a curb. Eventually I would end up smashing a front or rear bumper on a curb and it would just be tears and sadness after that.
Thanks for no hard core flames though

I don't have any pics handy, but just imagine any Evo X but without that silver AC line glaring out at you on the passenger's side of the upper grill. You can either hit it with some hi-temp satin black paint or even cover it with a section of electrical tape in a manner of minutes.

The back bumper looks like you tried to squish the cobb sticker between the diffuser and the reflectors... and are all missaligned because of the cobb logo being taller than the wording.... its all curved and looks bad. The rest... not horrible... but yeah, the car being as stock looking as it is, doesnt fit.
