    Yeah, I think most of us will agree with Kimya on this one ..... Graphics are a big no-no to me as well. Sorry man it really is a "rice" mod.

    You did ask "Do you guys like graphics?" so I'm going to have to say that somebody has been playing a little bit too much Need for Speed or has watched Fast and the Furious 1 and 2 way too many times. Please, please, please leave this shit off your Galant.

    Ok well, unless you have a non-daily driven galant, that is gonna be a "wild" show car. But, non daily driven, wild style show car only. Otherwise, be proud of ur cleanliness. I think a few past TGC members that had hardcore show cars had low tone graphics that everyone liked enough to not say r-i-c-e.

    ghost graphics are ok cuz they blend in...have to look hard to see them, but other than that

    well, I was wondering beteen 2 toned and graphics, but I guess I wont do any of it. I leaned toward the vynil cuz 1- its cheaper and 2 - I can always remove it if I dont like it. For the 2 toned paint which I gave up on cuz I will be painting the car and dont feel like spending more than a week for the entire job. But I have always kept all my cars clean, but as Warm said - too much NFS

    Graphics can be tastefully done. Look at pretty much anything Chip Foose has done.

    Correct but Foose doesn't exactly use vinyl.

    Some graphics look fine when done tastefully. Such as below...

    Exactly my point, painted graphics can be absolutely beautiful. Even if its 8 or 9 different colors it can be tastefully done. There is a certain subjective quality to graphics, but I think you gather what i mean.

    Yeah, but that's a show car, not a daily drive

    Some graphics are cool but they cannot in any way distract from the original lines of the car. They have to blend in well with the overall theme of what you are trying to accomplish.

    In my opinion the only non ricy graphics are those for propor racecars. I do think an old school mitsu rally car scheme would be cool, but I wouldnt do it unless I had a built mitsu rally car. The Starion Jeremy painted up on Top Gear looked really good, at first.
