    Default yay or nay. you tell me

    rough photoshop of ltw flag on a e34, ... what do you think?

    i don't recall seeing one on a e34 before and it would (IMO) complement my black and silver theme quite nicely. Should I try it or not (actual vinyl I'd cut this from would be carbon fiber pattern).

    I have seen this paint scheme on 3's before, only the version I picture for my paint would start silver and fade to full black.

    There are a couple of threads around the various boards on the LTW flag decal.
    Apparently they are available on eBay in colors.
    I need a respray up front, and I think I would like to have this airbrushed into the paint, but faded so you can only see it in certain light.

    it could work, but the e34 is a tad too big. Maybe an ACS kit and sportier wheels and it would look a little more at ahome.

    Paint you're lowers and drop it, then it might work on yours.

    hah its a 2800 dollar car guys, the paint is nowhere near perfect (previous owner took it to one too many automatic washes) ... painting the lowers is not an option unless I can find someone that will airbrush scratches into it. lol

    drop maybe one day, wheels possibly when i sell the subaru.

    my opinion - your car looks too stock for those graphics - it would look out of place.

    yeah, it is far too tiny, and far too "formerly youthful & hip" to fit on a classy car like an e34.

    TO be honest, it's tacky and garish.

    removable paint is a good choice to test. Photograph the results, remove then try another pattern, perhaps larger. By that point you might decide it is a bad idea.
