The arches are fibreglass and wrapped in DI_NOC carbon film, the new film from 3M... £450 to you if you want a set... £450 for the arches? is that all 4? good price if so. the graphics do look good, the fact that its your own business is even better - and did i mention she is FIT!!

Gaz6002 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I don't like: the arches, the graphics or the indicators. Cheap, cheap, cheap and wrong respectively. IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSheffield Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Not a fan of most of it, but if it generates interest in your company i guess thats good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See here http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=213259 I do try mate we can't all agree! I saw that thread, but thought I'd wait to post my opinion before I saw a side profile of the whole car. I think they over-power the look and ruin the Supra's lines. Same with the graphics, they're too imposing. Both things together just make it look too cluttered for me. The indicators look too small for the holes, which again adds to the 'busy' look. With all that said, maybe it's me. Cars are a very personal thing, and if you're happy then don't listen to a word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notts_TT Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 As said before, the graphics are there for a reason, not something id have on my personal car even though i run a graphic based company. Again the story behind the arches are to show customers we can wrap pieces like that and to show off the vinyl, were just going into full car wrapping and were doing a whole smart car in the carbon vinyl as our show car, now that will be overpowering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have wrapped the spoiler, the roof, the bonnet, etc... arches are a funny place to start. Smart car sounds 'interesting'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notts_TT Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 I havent done this thinking its not aesthetically pleasing, everyone who has seen it in the flesh so far absolutly love it, I love the arches, the kit and everything else.. We are partial wrapping the middle of the bonnet and roof with Di-Noc, oh and the spoilers blade... Lets just agree to disagree and leave it at that or this could go on all day. Thanks for your comment.. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I wouldn't mind some graphics for my track car. Make it look less like a piece of shit being trailered to a breakers when I'm going to the track! Whatchagot?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w41k3r Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I like it but would like to see an outdoor smaller pic :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I'm definitely not sold on the carbon overfenders... and I am an overfenders fan The indicators are easily sorted, maybe a black tint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notts_TT Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 I am tinting the indicator lense Scott, thought they were a nice touch but there maybe a marmite thing, think the whole car is really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I dislike that so much it's hard to explain in words. No offence intended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 shame you didn't line up the side indicator repeater with her head that way when making right turns it would look like shes firing laser beams from her eyes. Like the arches, overall a nice Supra but not totally keen on the graphics. this site has some nice Manga ideas though. http://www.sjsdesign.com/cgi-bin/cp-app.cgi?usr=51F3487768&rnd=5346480&rrc=N&affl=&cip=&act=&aff=&pg=gallery2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
