The font is a bit hard to read, especially if someone is following you, but it looks cool.

The rest of the car is

It's not so much meant for people following me as much as when I am at car meets. I figured if they really wanted it done they can get my attention at a light or something

It won't stay on forever. I have tried craigslist, facebook and anything else I could think of. This is the next step. I am hoping to get a few customers to help fund our vacation in feb.

After that the sticker will most likely be removed

This car has really come along nicely. One thing I really want is tint on the mirror signals. Gotta find someone to do it tho, I'm sure I wouldn't do a clean enough job.

I would change the font so people can read it. There is no point in advertising if people don't know what it says.

Your car is really coming together, man.
I don't like any decals on the car, but I realize you're doing it to get business. I do hope it generates some customers for you.

I usually hate stickers as well. Like I said though it's not so much meant for people driving. Can you make out the email or phone number from the picture?

I might change the font but this font took forever for me to find because I didn't want just some plane jane font on my car. Since I hate stickers I wanted it to be a decent font to make it bearable having it on my car.

Ok guys. I can't believe I am saying this, but my car is up for sale. My priorities are changing. My car payment is one payment that I can get rid of and at this time in my life I want to provide better for my son rather than have a nice car.

I really really hate the idea of this but I will live and it will help my family more than the love for this car will.

Thanks everyone for all of your comments and critiques. If I get what I am asking (what I need) for this car it will be gone. If not I guess I will be forced to keep the car I love lol.

Damn... When I saw "TheMuffinMan" as the OP, I immediately thought to Honda-Tech (of which I frequent a lot..) I"m pretty sure you're the same one! Glad to see we upped our game! I came from H-T with a 99 Accord v6 in white and now am a proud owner of a 08 WDP Type- S! This man was blunt but super helpful on the forums, glad to see you on AZ!

Flamesuit ON!

So I got bored and I know this car may be gone soon so I figured what the hell. I've always wanted to do some crazy color wheels so this is a good time to mess around. This is Blaze Yellow Plastidip with the pearlizer top coat. Pretty insanely bright.

It is not permanent so no worries. It was meant for H2Oi weekend but I ended up getting sick and didn't even make it out there. I actually like it more than I thought I would though.

The Machine and I had a tiny photoshoot.

Wow guess I didn't need the flame suit as much as I expected. Figured you guys would hate the wheels as much as you guys hated my sticker lol.

Like I said though. I didn't think I would like it as much as I did. I am actually debating some crazy color powder coat now though lol. Even my wife likes it.

Man has it been a while since I updated this. Well finally after sitting on them for over 3 months I finally installed my ISC coilovers. I drove around for 2 days at the height in the first picture but eventually had to raise it a half inch in the front

Thanks guys. Ride quality is a lot stiffer than with the springs but I don't bottom out anymore so it may save me from cracking any more wheels. Fingers crossed. I'll be acting with the damping this week trying to get a smoother ride and finding a good medium between stiff and bottoming out.
