Thinking of doing some vinyl work

Since I have access to a vinyl plotter and can make whatever I want for free, I recently started brainstorming about what I could do for a big windshield sticker.

Heres a quick photoshop mockup of what I came up with:




Thoughts and comments, negative or positive, are appreciated.

It's like seeing those guys with honda civics running around with a big "H" on the rear glass...Hmm wonder what car he's driving???

I'd say do something more along the lines of a pinstripe or something. The simpler it is, the better (and cleaner aka not rice) it'll look. Let us know what you decide

it may be ricey as some say but it is not ugly coz it is neatly placed even tho it is just a photoshop overlay. how about doing a whole rear window lakers logo with all the original colors and details. hehehehe

I'm pretty sure that people would already know it's a Corolla no matter the size of the banner.

I myself am all for modifications that actually serve a purpose, you should get this instead:

i have to disagree on that. too many people dont even know what a car is on the road until they read the rear end of the car.

This one here might be the only exception, because it looks nothing like stock.

Don't you live in Hongcouver? I'm pretty sure the majority of the population there is familiar with Toyota at least ...I saw nothing but those the last time I was up there...surely someone knows what a Corolla is.

You could do that by using LEDs to spell it out.. Or you could do that using black Vinyl so it's not as visible and then have a neon or LED lightning behind it connected to a switch.

The guy that designed this window sticker lived near me as it was even on the local news. He was talking about maybe selling them but I'm not sure if that ever happened.

I had no clue that was a Corolla!



No overlay please! I think it's stupid to put a COROLLA on your windshield. If you really want to do it I think it'd be cooler if it was like some kind of crew you're in or forums.
