The initial idea was putting the graphic on the roof and rear bunper. But through reasons beyond my control, it couldn't be done.

Also, the eyelids are coming off right after the show.

Default SEMA bound....Lucky you!!

Mel, everyone has opinions....some are good for our ego's and others just
need to be forgotten. It's very cool you were invited to SEMA, not many of
us are that lucky. Congratulations, and by the way I like your graphics!

self-design?
Tokico actually hired a graphic designer for this project. They used the Z's bulging rear fenders as the centerpoint of the wave. InStyle Graphics layered several waves together, since it didn't come in one big piece out of their vinyl machine.

Hopefully the design will catch some eyes from the press.

Hi Gary,

I agree with you 100% bro. There's no way in the world I can please everyones taste. All I can do is try to step out of the box when an opportunity like SEMA presents itself. Not everyone can spend $100K for a booth out there...and Tokico will have two of them.

I'm not quite sure people understand what it takes to be asked to have your car displayed at SEMA....

The graphics will probably not stay on the car after SEMA, but it is quite an honor to have your car used as a display car at a trade show. It's probably the pinnacle of building a car in terms of recognition, next to having a magazine feature.

Regardless.... Big congrats again cuz! Wish my car was chosen.

Thanks cuzin! Yeah, I'll probably keep the graphics for the '09 show year minus all the Tokico banners on the window, hood, rear bumper, and doors. I believe it would be a liability to them if I were to keep it on indefinitely.

I can only dream to be featured in a magazine... let alone a cover car like yours!

id put a ***** graffic on my car for a turbo anyday
seriously though i think your car looks great. its just not the same though man it used to ba a legend in my eyes, the best silverstone(right?) ever.
only second Z to nitrouz. and now its kinda a tool. BUT call me a wrench if it means free car parts!! haha

On a rate of 1-10 on just the graffics i give it a 9 if it means anything
