ok we got a vinyl plotter at work a few months ago and we have really just done some lettering and stuff but since i got the altima i been itching to do some graphics....this is what the car looks like...well ok mine doesnt have those wheels but the color is the same except i have tinted windows....i need some ideas for graphics on this thing.....ive never done anything to a car like this and my idea of graphics for a car amounts to an old school 4 color flame job....probably not a good idea for a 4 door rice burner....so what do you guys think?the pic is too big to load here with any quality but i am clueless on this....

I have trouble picturing you as the type of guy that drives an Altima with vinyl graphics on the side of it. Doesn't really help you a lot, but I'm more into clean and simple.

Psst: Altima

It makes him just that much cooler.

hmmm, not to big on the vinyl myself. I would do one of those that looks like something is ripping thru the metal, those are cool!!

I used to own a sign business. had one of those plotters and a thermal 4 color printer for vinyl. That was how I made the sign for my Festiva. did a 2' long /////ALPINE sticker for the rear window. 5% tint, 3M reflective vinyl, blue for the ///// and white for the letters.
it was really pretty :)

yea im not really the ricer type as i am 6'1" and 240 lbs. its a little tough getting in and out of something that sits so low but i can appreciate and car if it is done well, never thought id say this but ive already ordered a high flow air filter kit for it that bolts directly to the maf meter eliminating a big box and some tubing that holds the factory air cleaner....

damn i figured you guys would be full of ideas

I would do something simple...

Like a green line about 1/2" or so thick like a heart beat....

I dunno, Im no artist and my artistic lobe in my brain was vibrated to death when I was 17ish... (Damn subs!)
