Question Feedback from Fellow Cobalt owners on graphics...

Let me start out by saying I have a new Black 2007 SS/SC

So I'm torn here... I want to really make my balt my own, and as such rather than just simply tinting the windows I was looking at putting a graphic pattern on the rear window and some smaller decals on the front fenders...

Now I've never done this before and have always had a thing for thinking up cool ideas etc on this type of auto graphic work and in my mind i think it looks cool but I really don't want to be the guy driving down the road looking like half the lame Civic owners with the "rice'd out daddy bought this for me" cars... (sorry if that offends anyone - my personal opinion)

Anyway I'm stuck as I don't want it to come across as tacky etc. but at the same time I want to really make this somewhat stand out and unique - via all coordinated and has a flow / theme to it...

Based on the graphic I choose I am going to pick the Interior Leds and under glow kit to follow suit and coordinate over all...

I'm torn between the 2 following images / ideas:

Background:

My first idea was to name the car the black widow - now this was going to be done in a theme where I would have the following image on my rear window but darker with the corresponding "rip metal" graphics for the front fenders... I am tinting the tail lights, purchasing the black crome halos and tinting the side windows to give it that dark look - to go with this theme I've tinted the interior over head lights red (easily reversable should I want to) and was going to purchase a Red LED interior kit and Underglow kit...

the rear graphic I liked is found here: http://westonsigns.com/product_info....f2afa392d77947

Above this would be " ~ WIDOW ~" in some cool font and appropriate color.

Fender graphics: http://westonsigns.com/product_info....f2afa392d77947

A friend mentioned she thought a picture of a black widow spider would be more fitting to correspond with the theme but I was unable to really find an image I wanted to tweek with and photoshop, however while I was looking for this I came across a really sweet image that I thought might be a good idea and could flow with the theme...

So the second idea is the following: I've made several different versions but the 2 I liked best so far are the following:

Another option is to keep the Venom name off entirely and just use the pic and then have lettering on the front window "Widow" or "Venom" etc.

Now with this color scheme I was thinking of going blue interior leds with blue underglow...

I made the redish VENOM name as a way to possibly bridge the colors to red but I think it would be a bit to "busy" with the large amount of blue in the graphic.

ANYWAYS So after this long winded rant... Thanks for checking this all out and I really appreciate any ideas / feedback.

Other Ideas / alternatives are also welcome.

Thanks,

- James

I really hate graphics and stickers on cars, but that's just me. To each their own.

I'd just have someone air brush this on the roof of the car. Nothing noticable from a distance but as ya get closer then you'll notice the roof.
