Default Paint before and after

Ok everyone I get my car back today so Im going to post how the car has looked since I bought it. I have some pics of it on how I got it then there are some where you can see the aftermarket catback and with me taking off the spoiler. I will post pics of the how it looks after the paint job by Tuesday. I don't think I will take them tonight as when I get it back the sun will be down.

Again I will post more pictures to the album by Tuesday. But as you can see my monte carlo was in very bad shape.

Need an opinion. Im going to be going to more meets and carshows and want my monte carlo to really stand out and be original so the graphics I want to put on there are not going to be stripes,flames, checkered flags, patriotic themes. But I want everyones opinion on this graphic. I live close to the place and they are very reasonable prices. I have my car black now and this graphic I think would look neat. Let me know what you all think.

Looks like you really angered someone for them to scratch your blue paint like that

The new paint looks great. I would not do that particular graphic. A bit too ricey for an American "classic".

There is a blue pace car in my neighborhood that looks really good with the white checkered flag graphic on the side...have you thought about going that route with your black car?

It's your car and your money, do graphics that you will like. That's what it all comes down too. We all have different taste and express ourselves differently.

I want to stay away from the "common" graphics used for the car. Lets face it how many montes do you see with stripes or checkered flags? Im trying to separate mine from the normal cause like I said I want to go to car shows and really want to turn heads. In my backwindow you cant see it but I have an led lamp that lights up with my music looks like a big EQ bars
