Have you seen this done on a thirdgen
Just thinking of something to set it apart from the rest. I know its a rough picture (only have paintbrush on computer) but you get the idea. Does it look aggressive or stupid. Just wanting some opinions before I go ahead with it.
Might add some other things from the real airplane like numbers, army star, number of kills under side windows, etc...

Re: Have you seen this done on a thirdgen
The reason for this is to hopefully cover up some shady bodywork that was done to the car when it was painted and is something I was thinking of doing for a while. If you look closely you'll see the dents and crinkles that are visible. I circled them. Passenger door is the same

Re: Have you seen this done on a thirdgen
its your car, do what you like.
but,...if you ever want to sell it, might make it more difficult?
for the effort of the custom paint/graphics, may as well just repair the body damage.

Re: Have you seen this done on a thirdgen
If you were going to do something like that it would have to be at the front. It's purpose was to intimidate superstitious enemies. Instead it looks like it's going to eat your front tire. (Not meant to offend, simply the impression/thoughts I had when I saw it.)
Nice work using paint, it's enough to show what it would look like imo.
How about some muted flames done with plastidip? If you do it right it will peel off if you decide you don't like it or go to sell it.

Re: Have you seen this done on a thirdgen
I am absolutely not a fan of that. To me thats as bad as spelling IROCK on the doors which I have seen in person as well as pics. Its a epic fail thru and thru.
Hey its your car do what you want but be prepared for meme generated pics of your car floating around on the internet as someone will do it
Sorry to be so blunt but I have to say this

Re: Have you seen this done on a thirdgen
that graphic came from military aviation . P-40 , F-86D , F-105G , A-10 to name a few , let it stay there . on your car it would like redn3ck trash (I know , I are one) . just my thoughts , good luck .

Re: Have you seen this done on a thirdgen
Thanks for all the replies. Its better to hear how bad it looks now then after its done. LOL. Probably look into repainting it. AGAIN. I'm a fan of military aviation but combining it with my car seems to be a bad idea. Thanks again

Re: Have you seen this done on a thirdgen
I like the shark teeth graphic, just not on that car; it just doesn't really work. A Starsky and Hutch stripe would work better.

Re: Have you seen this done on a thirdgen
Plastidip it on there, then you can just peel it off if you don't like it anymore.

Re: Have you seen this done on a thirdgen
Sorry Bud but I don't like. You might be better off just fixing the body work like stated earlier.
