Red-Eyed Jake

Here are some pictures of my new Red-Eyed Jake. I just got these on tonight, so I don't have any good outside pictures yet. The red and black are both reflective material.

Thanks. I wasn't sure if I would like the red eyes, but after seeing them on the car, I think they give it a little something extra.

Very cool, but the black on black (glass) doesn't work for me. have you tried red Jake with Black eyes to go on the glass? Otherwise, the current design should go on the silver paint for better contrast.....keep up the good work, and post more pics

I like the black one out of the two. Might be better if maybe it had a white outline?

You are correct. The decal is used with black reflective material and red reflective material. Now that the sun is shining outside, I took some more pictures in the daylight. Depending on what angle you are standing to the decal, it tends to change color from black to gray, which goes great with the MSG color.
