Default Cool Car Graffics

Anyone have any really cool graphic pics. These are from a car show in Acworth Ga. Put on by Classic Glass.

I guess "cool" is subjective.

I wouldn't put graphics on my car but I can appreciate the artistic merits of some I've seen. Here's two you probably don't want to come across....

Graphics suck. I wouldn't ever consider ruining my Vette like that.

Wow. That's a hot car. You think the guy likes flames. Maybe he's the fire chief ...

Certainly different I am not a big fan of graphics but have seen some that look pretty good.

I'm not a fan of graphics either, but I suppose, with so many Corvettes on the road, some people feel some inner need to distinguish themselves from others. Not a bad thing really, and even though I don't Like the examples in the opening post, the work is probably very well done, not to mention expensive.

It may not matter, but in my experience any customization applied to a given car drops the projected resale value and collectability by a huge amount.

As they used to say (and maybe still do) in the car business, "How much did those cool mods cost?" The usual response once the proud owner - and potential buyer of an new car, using the modified car as a trade - has admitted the cost of the mods, "Well, that's probably about what it's going to cost to restore the car back to original".

Not criticizing here so much as trying to explain why I don't like this kind of stuff.

BTW, why are they called "Lambo Doors" when Lamborghini has stopped doing them?

Graphics are not for me but I like the flames on this C5. I think I'd like to have the flames on a clear bra material and when I got tired of them I could peel them off.

To each his own.

Intense stuff. I love the white with accents, not too much, but enough to make it look unique.
