Default getting set up for show and need your input...

for those of you following my work, i've been brainstorming on how to properly show my car, since i got owned by crack baby judges who didn't know what they were looking at. sooo ... here's some sketches i've come up with that i think might be what i'm looking for. feel free to post your opinions, and if anyone knows anyone who can lend a hand in actually fabricating some of this that's nearby, i'm all ears.

first, my inspiration. for those of you that remember ryanITV this is the pic he sent me when i asked for any show setup pics he had. god bless the dude, and his car lives on in all the parts i bought from him when he was selling his baby.



and my own stuff. first, my huge arse plexiglass stand that'll go near the car:


then, this will go underneath the tire. 6 feet high of mods i think will just look impressive:


now, the business card. i'm still tweaking this:


and the front of the t-shirt. this will go above the left breast (btw, if anyone wants to buy one, let me know):


and the back:


so, whacha got for me, people? you'll have to use your imagination when it comes to my stands a bit, but i hope i got across the general idea.

oh. and thanks to wantone for the inspiring line i asked to borrow from him: 'sex comes in black.'

Very nice~ The only complaint I have about your car is the eyelids on the headlights... I never got the point or the lure of those. Good luck at the show- you represent the S2000 community well.

I say fix your posters and business cards to have a regular picture of your s2000 without any photoshop effects on it. The pic you have now looks like a bad cell shading. Its just too messy. Makes you car look like a fat black bloob. It covers all the beautiful lines of your bodykit and fog lights which I think is a bad thing. You could also consider removing the "2003" part its not needed.

i agree.
photoshop filter's pretty cheesy.
just drop a nicely cropped clean pic of your car and call it a day.
if anything get rid of that registration sticker or whatever above your rear view mirror.

also, i'm not in love with the font,
especially "sex comes in..." part.
change it into something cleaner and more speedy.

consider dropping a hint of more catchy color, like red or yellow.
image of engine start button, or changing font color of "sex", might be good idea.
