Need opinions on this mod

OK...I know a lot of you will KILL me on this but I thought I'd give it a shot? I don't think it came out all that bad? The good news is that its not permanant and I can take off in few minutes. I think I'll keep it on for a few days and re evaluate.

Give me your HONEST opinions???

Okay! Here you go, I think the idea is good; I was also thinking of that, just talking to a graphics guy last week. However, I think it would look better in three respects. 1. Don't bring it all the way down, just bring it to where the quarter panel and bumper meet. 2. Have it follow the lines of the taillight rather then straight up and down. 3. Find a more subtle color. okay I lied 4. bring the Hemi up closer to the belt line.

Yeah...I agree with a lot of what you said, however this graffic was not custom and came as ONE 3M application...so a lot of the items you mentioned I can't do...good input however.

Man that steel blue is a cool color....I don't remember seeing an SRT-8 in that color before. How dark is the tint on your windows?

I think your graphic looks good and the changes bac n black talked about would help. It's got a retro Daytona Charger feel to it from back in the late 60s early 70s.

No killing from me! The only other similar graphic I have seen on a 300 is from Like2race. I agree that it should not continue below the seam and that the color should be less subtle should you go with something such as this. Going below that halfway point reminds me of a big bow tied around your car.

im not totally sure. the color scheme works well, the silver goes good with the wheels and offsets the steel blue nice. but then again, its also a very muscle car thing, and our cars appearance leans more toward a luxury hot rod.

i dont agree that it should stop halfway down, i think it will look unfinished, but i DO agree that if you keep it, it should follow the tail light lines. maybe have the stripes follow the tail light line, and keep the letters straight. can you do that?

i honestly cant say i hate it, haha, its original and seems to work.

Honestly, I appreciate the effort u but am not feelin' that graphic. It doesn't flow with the body lines at all, and screams generic application. (to me at least, but my dad owned a custom body shop for 20+ yrs so I tend to scrutinize).

A more subtle graphic that would still get the point across, and still flow with the body lines, would be a slim horizontal graphic that starts at a pinpoint on the front fenders just behind the wheel flare, and continues to the quarter panel while gradually increasing in size (while still being small enough to be maintained above the line of the door handles). The graphic ends with the graphic matching the top rearward slant of the tail light, and includes an SRT8/Hemi logo. Of course, it should be a color that better complements the car color, and is less obtrusive.

IMHO since you asked for it!

I like the direction but not the execution. the best way I can put it is it makes your cars butt look big. Like it was suppose to end at the graphic and then this extra foot of car was added. I think if you don't carry it all the way down and go with a darker color like a gray it would look good.

But the only opinion that counts is yours and if you're feeling it then go for it.
