If you want to just hide faded paint just get a single color wrap

so just how much horsepower would that big sticker give you?

Well, going by ricerology, I'm thinking somewhere around a 500 hp gain:crazy:

it think it will add about 140-150 after it tuned in right.

IMO the plane needs to go if you want the flag how bout a shodowed/ ghosted flag. i think with some ghosted stuff it would tone it down and set it off.

Now that might work. Look good without being "in your face".

I thought about that but the material doesn't have the same shine as paint.

This might not be what you are wanting to do, but if I were you I would take that $800 and put it towards the cost of shiny new paint. :D

Agreed.
In a year or two, how will this graphic look? Meaning, what type of damage will the sun do to it?
Not worth $800 IMHO, but do whatever makes ya happy! :D

The oldest wrap I've seen personally that he did is about 2 1/2 yrs old. Still looks good. Beyond that, who knows. Another friend who painted his mustang himself (turned out nice) offered to paint my car and said it would not cost any more than $800 for sure so now I'm leaning toward that although I'm thinking of a color other than black. I guess I've had too many black cars over the years, lol

Don't you have a bunch of hillbilly car painters down in tejas? I know up here in Ohio I can name like 4 that I would trust to paint my car.... and they churn out some nice ass work!

Hillbilly car painters? LMAO! Can't say that I know any offhand. A couple of years ago, I had our vocational school auto body paint my GN. I had to get on a 6 month waiting list but it only cost about $350(materials) Other than some orange peel, it looked pretty good for a cheap paint job. I've done some minor body work before and am pretty confident about fixing the minor hail damge on the car but I've never sprayed a car and don't trust myself to do it.

I'm trying to envision what you are describing. Are you saying the line separating the two tone would sweep upward toward the back of the car? Hell, photoshop it on my pic if you can.
