Only Question did you paint it, or matt a poster to it?

That is absolutely incredible. If my car was able to pull that off, I would. I am floored at the ingenuity. It looks fantastic.

It is sophisticated indeed.
Are you going to do anything else to your interior to match it up?

I've been thinking about doing something like this too, but couldn't think of something that wouldn't make me look like a fruit! haha

Looks good and very unique!

I'm going to be disappointed if you don't match the woodgrain.

Looks good, you got on that pretty quick! If I had black interior I'd probably do it too. It makes it stand out, but I have tan interior...How long did that take you to do?

I was thinking about doing something with the wood grain but I was afraid of over exposing the picture. I'm trying to plan that out right now. It will probly remain just the center console. Once my car is finished and ready for some track events the entire picture may be muralled* on the hood to tie in with the center console. It is undecided as of yet.

Thanks guys.


ps. on a project like this patients was key. I took the face plates off everything. then meticulously planned out the lay out using two different actual reprints of the original art work. applied with spray on adhesive. trimmed with three exacto knives to make sure they shaved down the curves correctly and then made sure everything went back together correctly. the middle stages involved a lot of eyeballing and measuring to make sure the art flowed from trim piece to trim piece correctly. All in all i think i paid about $100 for this thanks to madd cheap reprints via ebay. It honestly came out better than I thought
