I actually would be interested to see an FC with some vinyl on. I just want to know what it could look like. If anyone has any pics, please post.

Yes they would.

On a lighter note, if your going to get one, don't get one that has flames originating from the front wheels...that would just be wrong...

There is some guy in town that has pretty cool graphics on his FC. It's a spinning rotor, starts at the front fender, and it has flames almost all the way don the car. Looks good, I probably would not have done the same though.

Hey go for it. I've seen some great graphics besides the F&F ones on ebay.

I personally think that graphics would look pretty bad, but if you're going to get them, get the design that you want, not what everyone on the forum wants...It's your car and you're the one that's going to be driving it, not us. Please don't let us pick your design for you (unless it's no graphics ) I'm sure we're all happy to give input, but as you can see so far, many are opposed to graphics and may be biased in their reply...
Make a decision on your own, and we'll let you know what we think

Not to hate on anyone but, think of the future

Will you still like it in a few years?

What will the stickers look like after the sun has beat down on them for a summer.

When and if you take them off and the paint under them has fadded different your car might still have a ghost of the stickers.

my 2 cents

Calvin? Yea, I've seen him pissin' on just about everything, from pistons to chevy logos to ford logos....the list goes on. I'm sure you could find some all over eBay...I thought it was funny the first time I saw one, but now they're way too common.
