My shop installed 1 side of my graphics today. I don't really know if i like them though. I spent 250 bucks on these things and I just need some opinions.

Just curious - Why do you have hood pins with the factory hood?

Sorry buddy, I don't like them. $250 was a lot of money. I think the Celi looks best w/o graphics.

body kit and wing are being painted....the wing was on my car as you can see in the bottom pic.....The carbon fiber hood is on the way as soon as VIS gets them in.

i don't like graphics on cars. you might as well buy a decal that says" hey, look at my car, i want to be noticed!". I would take them off. too showy.

Wil,

Why did you get them in the first place. looks like you were unsure from the start:confused:

I like having my car stand out from all the others. I'm gonna do some modification to them tomorrow and post another pic. I'm not just going to junk 250 bucks, I work too hard for what I get done to my car. Every extra penny I have goes into it. I think I may like it more w/ the wing back on and the CF hood.

Graphics on a car can look good if done right, but those look like they were done by an 8 year old. Nothing will help the appearance of those graphics at all so I would take them off. You should have had some people photoshop that on your car so you could see what they would look like before you spent all that money.

On a side note... Who designed them? If it was the company that made them, then you should get your money back because that is very terrible work and looks very unprofessional. If you or a friend did them then i guess your out of luck. :(

you know, your right. I just e-mailed modernimage.net w/ a pic and my opinion of their product. Lets see what they are willing to do for an unsatisfied customer.

horrible! That isn't worth 250. I think they just slapped some left over vinyl from another car project and slapped it on your car.

i like graphics!Alot.. but i have to agree with the others that it just doesnt flow with the car...ive seen worse though..The most impoertant thing to remember in the long run is to stay true to yourself..your the one who drives the car!

those are cleaner... what color?

those will look better than those you have on the car now

Those are better, but so subtle......Either go with graphics and get some that you think look good that make a significant difference, or don't get graphics at all.

Personally, I think the reason that the ones you got don't look good is because they are short and fat. On the celica if you are going to put any graphice on, you need something that runs down the line of the car to accentuate the length of it....not make it look short and stubby.

way to be unique.. don't take them off yet.. put some body kit or ask someone to photochop it.. it might get better ^^"
JaCelica2k
10-22-2002, 08:58 AM
SOme ideas of what I mean, but most of all go with something you like. Personally, maybe one color, or at least less black.

Thanks for the help guys...I sent the other half of the graphics back to ModernImage. They are gonna send me the graphics I posted in the link plus refund my money!!! I figured why I was so unsure about them though. After I kept staring at them, it turns out they sent me the wrong kit anyway!!!! But yeah, I'm getting the kit in the link Silver w/ a black 3-D look.

okay heres my request now!!! Can someone photochop those graphics in my link on the pic of my car above!!! Thanks

If you give me a pic of your car before any graphics I will do it. Too much work to take the existing ones off.

This is the only other full body shot I have. It's alil outdated, but will it work??

Just to confirm, what graphics do you want me to put on? The ones you asked about?
Jesse IL

IMO, graphics only look decent on cars with tons of appearance mods done and wilder kits. Graphics on a totally stock car cheapens the look of the car, like you are some sort of poser. In other words, graphics are for race cars.

Ok, I wanted to get some vinyls for my car before but after seeing your car, I know I don't want any... No offence, but its just fugly. But if you add an agressive kit it might be better.

Here is a quick and dirty, but enough to give you the idea.

It has a black underline shadow now. If you give me an example of what color silver you want I can change it.

Graphics suck.

Your wing and hood will be black, you say? I would go with a bit darker gray on those graphics. Hard to tell if your windows are tinted. If they were darker and you could match that as well (not black graphics necessarily, but just a little darker), it would go really well and give the car a better overall color scheme. I think it would look really nice!

As long as it doesn't stand out too much, though, I think the new job has potential. Cut the height of the fattest section (end above the rear tire) by just a tiny bit, make it appear a tad more aerodynamic.

Just my 2 cents, of course. In the end you're driving it :)

Looks like you ran through a bucket of paint....
I like some graphics, I just don't think those look like they should go on a Celi.

well its better to make your own mistakes than just getting screwed from the group buy or for sale forum.. plus looks like you get another chance at this..
