Vote for my front end Plastidip design!

[BrianH]

Ok guys, I need your help. I've whipped up a few photoshop designs for the front of the car, and I can't decide which I want to use. I'm really liking the idea of using white instead of black, but they both look pretty sharp. Also, I don't know if the upper part of the front fender is too much or too little if removed. Let me know what you think.

Note: the wipers are already done white as pictured. I also posted the back of the car as reference, which is already done as well. I'm just in need of of deciding on what the front should look like.

Back for reference:

Curved edges aren't hard to get. I was able to pull off sharp 270ish degree curves for my wheels using low tack masking tape (http://www.sonicownersforum.com/forum/do-yourself-articles/3325-plastidip-your-17-stock-wheels.html). It just takes a bit of patience.

Why not do the front as your avatar shows? I think the avatar looks pretty good. Im not fond of the others at all. I do like the back though. It looks real nice. Just remember this though. It is YOUR car. You need to make it YOUR car. If you already have an opinion of what you want. Go with it. Never know, you might start something here.

Sorry not a fan of any. Looks like a handlebar mustache on top of the 'stache it already has. Now if you tie in the lower part of the grill you may get away with it.

It was done like that before a Your Building Center truck driver decided to run over the front driverside of my car. As for the new design, I'm leaning towards B, but thought I'd get a general opinion.

^^^^^
As I said. Brother, it is your car. Do as you please with it. It is OK to get a general opinion. It is a natural desire to want others to agree with you. If they do not. It does not mean that you are wrong or right. We are all different by design. That is why I said, do as you want to make it yours. It is your car therefore it is special. make it truly special by customizing the way you want.

How do I know that we are all designed to be different? GOD gave every single one of us a different set of fingerprints. He also gave every single one of us a unique (just for me) DNA. If GOD went thru that much trouble to make us that different. It must mean that he expects us to have different opinions of things.

Have fun with the car. Make it unique. Show it off. Be happy with what you did. I see what you already did with the wipers, and the tail end. You do real nice work. You have ideas of a true artist. Show off your skills. Good Luck Keep up posted as your results.

C looks awesome!

 

[sonic007]

I voted for c but Im not a huge fan of any of them...c is just the best of whats there.

 

[NewZJ]

C is the best on my opinion

 

[Beastlick]

IMO dip the whole car! The initial designs remind me of a zorro mask!

 

[SonicBoy24]

C, only because the back of your car is black, otherwise I say A

 

[Xecutionr]

I'm sorry I don't want to sound like an ******* but I don't like plasti-dip on cars it just makes it look trashy and half assed.. sorry

 

[$ub$onic]

But it's the new raging thing

 

[Beastlick]

I don't think its a bad thing. It can be done is such a way to accent or disguise areas of the car. I've dipped my chrome side window trim and tail light covers and it looks intentional. When you try and break up a complex front end or hood, IMO it looks sophmoric. To each there own, its your car and I don't mind seeing new things being tried.

This.

My vote is to throw the plasti dip in the garbage.

If you'd like to add some crazy graphics to your car at least do it correctly and have it painted that way.

I'm still looking for someone to do a splash-job. You know, with the bucket, from a distance, all nasty-like. Do it and snap a pic. I'll vote for you.

 

[Swordsmith]

I like A but I think all of them need something more, perhaps putting back the strips you have in your avatar, or something on the hood.... just sitting there on the front they all seem a little flat to me. I like A the best though because it looks the most deliberate, and it ties in with your white wipers.

?
The whole idea behind plastidip is that its removable so if you dont like it you can change it.

The whole idea behind body panels is that they are removable so if you dont like it you can change it.

There, I fixed it. Down with dip.

Having done some plastidip, I can't say I understand the negative attitude. Great stuff, goes on easy, looks good, comes off easy. Even if you want paint in the end it might be a good idea to do dip first just to see what it will look like and play around.

Of course I also don't advise ever marrying a virgin, but I understand some people feel otherwise, so to each their own I guess.
