Default Looking for ideas for graphics on the race car.

All,

I've got a black 95 GS-R that I'm pulling off the road this winter. It'll become a full time race car with the East Coast Honda Challenge (www.honda-challenge.com).

Since it'll be off the road...it's time to make it look like a proper race car. Has anyone got ideas, or has anyone seen a particular Integra that looked really good?

TIA...

I like em' stock. DFH and all that jazz. Pick a number you dig, and have a vinyl number(s) cut-out.

Karl,
Try http://www.modernimage.net There's a few patterns and stripe designs that aren't too crazy. Some simple stripes would work well on your car and wouldn't cost that much. I'll most likely be getting one of these designs for next season.

I guess I should be more specific. I'm not going to put a bunch of company logos on the car so much - more the checkered flag type thing like John posted.

I will have to run some company stickers since they're sponsoring the series - OPM Motorsports and Kirk Racing are required on all cars. There are some others that offer contingencies (Carbotech, Chill Factor, Raceworks) that I'll run just in case I trophy. So those five are pretty much required.

The clean look is something that's occurred to me too. I've had it this way since 1995, just looking to change it up. I figure if it looks too over the top I can just rip it all off.

I like the second one that John posted better. It flows better, plus the checkered flag thing is way overdone...on a lot of cars other than Hondas too.

Thanks for the input guys. I don't pop in here too often, but when I do, I notice there's a lot of very tastefully done cars. Some of the 92-95 hatchbacks...mmm.
