If anyone wants to see more, or a DIY write-up I can put something up later.



I like the look; show the whole car so we can see hot the entire cars appears with the decal. Nice job

I like it...... it allows the viewer to form the decal into any number of images. Vague but complete.

Wouldn't put it on mine but it looks OK.

What's the purpose for the fugly wire? That looks far worse than the decal.

With chicken wire (or whatever else you want to call it to make it sound better)? Nope, not from the factory.

Very hot, my friend! Take a couple of shots with the hood up, but so you can see the entire front end of the car.
