ummmm...... good try, but it's kind of ghetto.

Just black out the fang with black paint, or even Plasti-Dip if you don't want something permanent. Evo-R CF cover is another option. Di-Noc has a better texture, but the results won't be that much better.

Also, racing stripes :roflpuke2: .... seriously, what are you a 12 year old? (J/K)

Also,as Astrosfan said on the license plate, get it out of the car. In an accident it can cause serious bodily damage. I used the no-holes bracket from gominigo.com, and love it. :tup:

I'm ordering more 3M or 1080 CF vinyl and trying it again. I just want to do something unique because I'm tired of seeing same silver Z's on the street.. lol
Usually I don't carry passengers so the license isn't a big concern for me.

I was thinking of something to say that would remain constructive... All I could muster was: :facepalm:

I like the emblem if it covered the whole thing. I don't like the stripes but that was pretty creative! If those 2 pieces of wrap on the front weren't different shades that would have looked perfect, but for $15 at least you got to do a test wrap on the them. They're gonna turn out perfect once you get the new material.

Not to sound like a parent or anything:rolleyes:, but it is a sharp projectile to anyone in the vehicle. I've just been told this by many people.:tip hat:

And I finally DiNoc'd a few things last week, and the stuff is awesome! And quite forgiving and easy to use. Good luck:tup:

I like the stripe concept, but in th photo it looks a little high near the door handle - is it straight seen from the side?

The 3M DiNoc is great stuff, search for the threads on here.

Yes it is straight. I took the CF wrap off because it looked kinda bad. I'm getting DiNoc soon.
