Do you think I should add some flair or not?

Post by CREGAN »

Shortly after buying my beast I bought some decals for it. They are made for an EVO but they fit the ridgeline perfectly so I thought I would order them up and give it a go. Well, a year and a bit later I re-discovered these decals in my shop and now I am torn. Do I leave the inglorious basterd the way it is or should I add a piece or two of flair. Is is too much (it draws alot of attention as is) or is it just the right amount to give it that something to set it apart from other Delicas. Opinions begin.

Here it is AS IS:

And here is what it could look like (minus the blue painters tape of course :-) ):

Let me know what you think, because as I said, I am undecided right now. I need the valued input of the gang here to help sway me either way.

If you want some flair and standoutness I would go for pinstripes it would be a bit more pricey but very cool

I like the look of the Ralli-Art sticker. Assuming they are reversed so the Red part is on the doors and the Ralli-Art is near the rear wheels.

Put it on, It would be the only Deli with that sticker on it....hey bring it down for the MOD on July 14th at Platinum Mitsu...We need more Deli's in the Show and Shine to balance out the Evo's.

Yeah it is reversed so it is the same on both sides. I know it is ralliart and it is kind of like putting a horse racing saddle on a cow, but I was just looking to liven it up a bit. If I don't decide to use them I would be willing to sell them on for less than I paid for them.

I would love to make it down for the MOD but I am kind of grounded here for the next month. My wife is on call and someone needs to watch the kid. Although I have watched "Home Alone" so I know she will be OK :-)

{paraphrasing}
How many pieces of flair do you currently have? Now, you could be like Brian and have 37 pieces of flair, but that's not the point - we just want you to express yourself.

Hey,
What about shortening up the red stripe to be equal with the white part
or just using the black part.
Also what about just using the "rally///art" part and putting it in front of the
Mitsu symbol then it wont take away from the "power channel" along the
rocker panels.
Seems like you would want to have some more red somewhere if you put
that whole decal on.
Then it will match your black flares when you get around to painting them
the colour they really should be. :-D

Please keep in mind that this advice is coming from
a guy whose fashion sense stopped in 1994 with
a pair of camo cargo shorts and has not done much since. :?

Why Rally Art decals? Why not Cregan art decals. Make your own devices, then you will have a truly unique Space Gear.

Then there's always flame action...

I have a CREGAN decal coming for the front of my bashplate so all you west-coasters can recognize me as I drive out to Long Beach this summer!

Not much of a flamer myself, mostly wanted to spruce up the beast a little bit. If only the cost of getting a viking goddess, topless, slaying a white siberian tiger, on top of a mountain, in the middle of a lightning storm wasn't so much. Dare to dream.

Getting decals made up to portray serpents to go along the running boards like in your first post, say? Or the name of your Space Gear in a stylized typeface in the same place... or a stripe! I don't know ~ an image that is you.

'Though the Frank Frazetta idea sounds pretty cool.
