I like the idea with the German colors I have also wanted to implement them somehow, I personally think they would look better and a tad more stylish without the white backing.

like the side skirt flag idea it looks great but those on the hood just look out of place.
But if you like it thats all that matters.

Looks awful.

But agree with the above poster, if you like it that is all that counts.

I like the side skirts not the hood but i understand from your previous post you had a big scratch on the hood and youre blocking it with the vinyl so you are forgiven for that

I agree with tmoney above as I don't really like the hood decals.
Car is sharp looking!

The hood badges actually look better in person.. They are on an chrome piece and the colors are separated by thin chrome strips.. The colors are very deep and rich looking and they are covered in a thick clear resin.. They are very professional looking... Plus they cover up the scratch on the hood.. Here's a closer look at them

Nice try, nice psychological ploy, Gungaslow. But we don't hate it.........at least not all of us. It's your style, your vision, your flavor, so if the they don't get it, whatever.

Me? I've got the night package with the everything blacked out, but quite frankly I didn't even realize how nice it looked in comparison to your -- and the standard -- silver-ish front splitter & rear diffusers until I looked hard at it with the black wheels.

Still, yours is pretty cool. And how I miss the frauleins in Germany. You got me thinking back to my many days in Munich and Augsburg.

Adios, G.

Look at the title of this thread. You knew some people are going to hate what you did to your car and others are going to love it. To each his own. It yours!!! Do what whatever, but don't get upset if some of us don't care for what you did. You asked for an opinion!

I think the skirts are cool - not sure about the white backing but still think it's cool. Not something I would do personally but still well executed!

Good job on the skirts. Hood piece is not my cup of tea for whatever reason, but I understand that you're trying to cover a blemish...

The side skirts are actually aluminum color like the front spoiler...its just the light that makes it look while

so bad.

aluminum blades would look fine, sans the gross flag repping and if they actually matched the splitter.
