Default Help design my new graphic's give-away

Alright, I know there was some problems in the past with another vendor, but you guy's know us by now so let's try this. You guy's have been beating me up on my graphic's since we did them. You have conviced me it's time for something new. I need the car to be flashy but up to date as well since I use it for advertising. We would like to leave the yellow alone and just change the stripes. Was thinking about bronze and black maybe?? Whoever's design we use (even if we modify it) will receive a one time purchase credit of $300.00 good on our web-site. And $100.00 for 2nd runner up, good on our web-site.We will run this until Dec 31st at midnight. Post here or send to parts@perfnissan.com . Thanks for your help..... we're just out of ideas!!! Jeff

I'm not much use as far as ideas go, but I do suggest you ditch the pink, or whatever color that is you have the stripes in. Just clashes with everything else. On that color car, I think the black would probably be the safest bet and would be clearly visible. Good luck!

keep it simple:

go with nismo pinstriping (in your preferable colors) then add your logos.

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.

Do you have any side profile pics of the car WITHOUT the graphics. Need a clean canvas to work with!

the lettering isn't good. the logo is good....but the lettering should be different.

how much does it cost to get vinyl made? i'd be interested in creating my own.
