Default Would it be ghey if I did this to my car?

I need to advertise my website for an upcomming show and I was thinking about doing something original. My friends over at Sticky Grafix in Montreal have the ability to print a photo onto vinyl. Basically instead of stripes or lines or whatever else you see today I could have a crazy pic of something on the side of my car. It would sure as hell draw attention.

The idea hit me of putting a pic of my car on the side of my car. Someone told me it would be like putting a tatoo of yourself on yourself lol. I don't know. If I saw a car with a graphic like that I'd stop and look at it for sure (and it takes alot to interest me). Is this a good idea or is it ghey as hell? If its not ghey which one would you choose?

It's your car and your prerogative, do as you like.

Any of them aren't that bad... Interesting tho

I would immediately skip the "graphic" option and just do "MONTREALRACING.com" all the way down the side of the car in vinyl.

Kinda like this:



Very eye catching, very clear, very easy to read even when the car is driving by.

I think your depiction would cause someone to say "what's that on the side of the car?" instead of remembering what it actually says.

Does anyone have a really high resolution motor shot I could use? This one is too small to print with.

I say do it. If its for a show that would definitely work as far as advertising. If I saw that I would totally give the car a second look and its certainly memorable.

if you're gonna do it, make it a print of a brick wall. then park next to a brick wall and ...well you see where im goign with it right?

but if you're gonna advertise....having a huge graphic on an ITR certainly would turn heads
