You going to try an' do it yourself, or bring it to a shop?

'cuz if you're trying to do it yourself I suggest you do something a bit simpler than what that guy had on his car(pic posted by MBlight)

Ah hell no, I would never be able to do that myself! I'll take it in to a shop, there's a pretty good place about 60km from my house and I'll take it there...

I always wanted to get a cute little red bug and make it into a fox, like they did to that pikachu car a few years ago..

Image

but then, that's when I realize that if I did that, my love for foxes would have just gone over the edge xD.

But that's an awesome decal! 8D

What you might consider is finding a sign shop that works with vinyl. What can be done is to have a vinyl "wrap" printed with any design you want (send them a very high-res file, mind you, as it will be blown up to a very large size) and apply the vinyl to your car. They can do entire vehicles this way and it's not only less expensive than finding a suitably gifted airbrusher, but it's reversible in case you change your mind or want to sell the car. My dad worked with a sign shop that did such things and it was awesome. You can even put designs over the windows that are perforated so that you can see through the windows safely. If you want a lot of images or anything big on a car, this would be the way to go IMO. I would wager that's what the owner of the blue car did with his hood.

Am I the only person in this thread who realizes how awesome this post is?

I mean, Etoh takes the time to drop this in a thread and no one says ANYTHING?

Well, I'm going to take that time. Thank you, Etoh. Thank you for making my day a little brighter.

I like the fact that the car in the first post looks exactly like mine(only with no Bleach design XD).
Do you have a favorite anime? You can find a good design that way. Depending where you wanted it on your car(like, only on the hood, or down the side(s)), that would give you some idea on what kind of designs to look for.

I don't believe you. I don't think you know where it's from, I don't think you know when it happened, and I do believe that if you truly understood everything, then you would think it was as awesome as Kkun and I do.

1) Cool looking car! I almost want to do something like that to my car, but I like it how it is.
2) I got great lulz from that picture. I'd so get a car in my car so I can drive while I drive.
