It run's me about $900.00 to do mine and the same for Jason's. I know it's a bit steep, but there is a lot of time involved.

whenever i hear or see a performance shop i either see a checker flag, or imagine the shop's logo/sign having one....here's my first try, but i'm horrible at photoshop...you can kind of get the idea though....i'm gonna try better ones, i orginally meant for it to start over the front wheel, swoop down low and end up swooping back up toward the rear hatch in whatever colors look best on lemans sunset (probably in bronze and black like you said) it will match the rims and tires....

Here's mine...clean and simple i guess. I think bronze lettering with black outlines would be match the color of the car better.

I think you should use similar striping & lettering as your race car except with NIMSO colors instead of the racecar's blue & red. In otherwords use red, black & white. Black would be the dominate stripe color with white lettering trimmed in NISMO red. This would tie the racecar, Nismo & your wheels together. You could also let the Sunset Lemans color shine through similar to the race car and trim the letters in white. Unfortunately the yellow lettering has to go as well as the purple striping.
Jeff I figured the race team already has the pattern on file so its just a matter of swapping out the colors above. Hopefully save a little money from the vinyl mfg. If you don't like black as the dominate strip color go with the same red as on the race car.

Yeah... it does look pink in person too.
Anywho, why don't you just lose the stripings and go with designed letterings? I don't care for stripings too much. What Quartz did minus stripes would look cool.

BTW, is this your own car? or is it the dealers? If it is yours, why must you advertise on your personal car? I think a lot of dealers use their personaled license plate frames for ads. J/K.

I can't photoshop, but how about a subdued checker flag, with grayish black and slightly darker than lemans squares, with the shop name over that?
