Heres a teaser for where I am right now. Everything was handcut including the 8IGHT logo. (cropped it from a pic, then traced it onto my body). Right now i am in LOVE with the sign lol it looks so good imo. I wouldve finished it tonight, but i can't picture which colors in gonna use so ill finish tomorrow. I know I'm putting carbon fiber in the back, and i want green in the paintjob. Thats about it so far.

I finished it last night at like 1:30 lol I think it came out pretty good. I wish I picked better colors and I remembered to do drop shadows on everything, but its aight. What do you think?

Dude that looks sweet! What is the trick to getting the CF look?

Thanks! I mixed a custom silver brown color (but it was almost identical to silver), and I used the thing you put under your mat so it doesn't move... also called tool box liner. Its hard and really frusterating because if its not perfect, it will come out like crap. You spray the silver first, and then take off the sheet, and spray black. It took me like 5-6 tries to get it how i like it, and its still not perfect.

Well thanks for the tip... I will give it a shot..... The way I drive my lid won't be looking great for long. I think your paint job looks really trick man.
