Yeah, I actually do not want a typical graphic scheme. But I do want to put black vinyl on the inserts on each side skirt, and the small recesses on the side of the front lip, and on the rear lower bumper recesses. These areas are only found on the RS 1 bodywork, and I have not seen another one done this way.

The black vinyl I would prefer is similar to the vinyl on the window pillars, (not super shiny) and should give it a clean and understated look. Along with window tint and some cool black wheels with an orange stripe, it will be a nice finishing touch.

Sounds nice and clean, thumbs up for that!

I will be looking at a sample of matte black vinyl for this project on Friday nite. If it matches the window pillars nicely, I'll ask for a price quote to do all I mentioned above.

Well, of course many of you know I did some vinyl on mine, the custom SCION and xD lettering on the doors and the rear bumper...




...but what a lot of people don't know or realize is that the lettering is custom-made from REFLECTIVE vinyl, so it glows very brightly at night in other car's headlights...Suprise!
