Opinions of Vinyl Design

Hey guys I have been thinking about doing some sort of vinyl stripe design along the side of the car. I did some searching on the net and came across the old yenko design and kind of liked it. I modified it by replacing yenko with cobalt. Its not the greatest chop but what do you think. I plan on contouring the back of it to flow with the curve in the back instead of up it down but haven't gotten to changing that yet

Now that you mention it, it does look a lot like the grip tuning. Didnt notice that before. I checked there site and you can order the vinyl from them and also have them customize it if you want. I may have to give them a call

maybe if it had a better flow, but unless lowered, it will look goofy.

It looks alright, but not really my taste. Cobalt is a very split 50/50 car. Some people see it in the more "American" car sense, and wanna show off its heritage. Then there's the other guys like me, who see the Cobalt a smooth "tuner" car. I'm all about clean and subtle, and a big stripe down the side of the car that says the name of the car just isn't for me.

With the comment of the design looking similar to that of grip i took a pic of there car and modified it. I wanted to cut the stripping off of their car and place it onto mine but it didnt look right and was very pixelated due to the difference in size and angle of the pic and car. I decided to just change the color of the grip car to something close to the cobalt orange color and then replace their lettering with my own custom text. What does everyone think of this.
