Not sure of the cost, but all I have to say is don't waste your money on that. IMHO decals with flames are just about the lamest thing you can do to your car. I'm not trying to bash you, and I wish I could help, but decals like that just aren't my thing. By all means, suit yourself.

looks cool, maybe if you want to make a super cheasy ricer car, I am a fan though of side graphix, some just strike me as sporty.

I only prefer subtle graphics, although I wouldn't spend my money on them/

I agree there are cooler or even better things to do with a car than vinyl graphixs.

just make sure that you go with a good company. mulitple color graphis that large are HARD to do. soo unless they print it out and not use multiple vinly it hard to be perfect.

but i have seen some sick graphic on cars. and if done right, you can win show trophie on those alone. i met one guy back in my show days, and he had a sick graphis, and always won a trophie. It just depends on the goal.

Doubtful that you could get it for less than $300. It would have to be hand airbrushed graphics... which are expensive And if you're going the route of airbrushing, you want to go more expensive and have a paint/hod rod expert do it in actual PAINT.. it will last longer, look better, and not have that unseemly vinyl sticker line.

When showing cars... cars with paint graphics will ALWAYS win over ones with vinyl graphics.

I have had vinyls on cars before. It can be fun. And ghetto.

And get this... on my last car, when my wife would borrow it, people would always want to race her. Never when I was at the wheel. Odd, huh?

Hopefully someone can get some Versa's in the WRC and create a nice design for a rally car. If they did, I would probably get it replicated by paint, not vinyl.

There is a local company here that has an excellent reputation called Car Pretty. check-out their website if you are interested at http://www.carpretty.com .

These are the people that put the 3M clear-film protection on cars also. They will be doing my Versa when it comes in. We put a lot of sand and small pebbles on our roads here in the winter, so the extra protection really helps save the paint job on the front of the car.
