When it all boils down to it man, it doesn't matter what ANY of us think OR say. It's your car. If you think it will be kick ass, then go for it. I'd just hate to see some drunk punks who hate that team mess up your car after their team just got beat, you know?

Oh and a blue, black and white theme? Sounds like you enjoy that color scheme, I say go for it dude. It will be original and unique and YOURS.

Just don't go paint your air vents white lol!

I have to say, after living in the land of cheese for a couple of decades now, I have seen my share PACKERS-MOBILES on the road. These people LOVE their Packers! If you can put a team logo on it, these people will buy it. And since the Packers are the only community-owned franchise in American professional sports major leagues, these people technically own the team!

Not even SketchedOut's argument will stop them!

So, even though my opinion shouldn't hold any more weight than anyone else here, I think my experience having to share the roads with countless cheese-heads should count for something. There is nothing wrong with a good color scheme, but you probably want to avoid over-killing the logo or the name of the team on the car. That being said, it's your car, you do whatever you think looks cool to you. Hell, I'm still looking for someone to make me some 80's-styled custom, rear window louvers.

^^ Hey, that PhotoShop someone did a while back with the louvres didn't actually look that bad. I would never do it to my own car, but it didn't look too bad.
Jalum, if what you have pictured in your head looks good, then why not. Personally I actually agree with most of the others that have posted here, especially Zilthai, as some logos or names sewn/stuck around wouldn't be too bad, but don't over do it. The color scheme alone should look really good with a sparse logo/name here and there. You're wanting to almost put a logo/name on everything that you can. Whatever you do, keep us posted man. I'd like to see how it turns out.

After talking about the idea with a few of my friends and reading more posts on here. I think it might be overboard to throw the head on the hood and some of the logos around the interior. Maybe just get the logos on the side of the car, and custom seat covers with the logos on them as well. Then just color scheme the car blue/black/white. That may be a bit better. Haha!

It'll be a while before I can do this but I'll go talk to a guy when I'm on mid-tour in May and see what ideas he can come up with along with mine for the interior and draw up some concepts. It'll probably be this time next year when it's all done if I don't install my system first. I'm just trying to get most of the planning done so by September I'll have a pretty stable idea of what's going to happen.

I'll keep everybody updated on how the planning process is going. Any and all ideas, or criticism is welcome. It is MY car, but somebody might have a better idea about something that I didn't come up with. So keep the posts coming.

I could design some emblems for ya will have drawings around 2 EST. I just think going overboard would be a big mistake. I'd go emblems, some custom lighting In blue and seat covers. Its tough when the stock fortes are red lighting and biege/grey interior. I went with the vikings kinda theme with purple lights and silver body. I made emblems but the Viking head got lost easy.

 

[koupa troopa]

what about sticking cam newtons face on the hood. that would be hawt.

 

[tyzall1584]

I will probably get flamed, but here is my idea....
If you want to go with the panthers idea, I would do it in a more subtle way. I definitely like the idea of incorporating the blue, black and white in the car, just go well together. I would consider doing a "ghost" paintjob of a panther down the sides of the car and have the panthers in their style font somewhere discreetly on the car. I do think that the helmet on the hood would be a bit much. If you have a fathead of the helmet or whatever they are called, try that out (They remove easily from the walls and stuff right? Just slap it on the hood and get a feel for what it looks like before you completely give up on the idea.

If you want to be a bit more unique and original.. Don't put the decals like NASCAR would have. Avoid the center o the door, the good and roof. Maybe a larger quarter panel decal? If it wraps onto the trunk or roof a bit that's fine. But off center it. As an art student, twinning kills anything. Make it so both sides don't look te exact same. Thats ghost idea for the logo would be sick, get t painted on in a lighter blue then your car has already, could be bad ass. Will make it look less tacky.. Again, IMO

this would make a sweet emblem to replace the KIA one in the grill and on the trunk if your going themed

 

[tyzall1584]

^^Definitely agree with the emblem idea.

If you want a discreet look, go for reflective paint. The police officers in my town have the 2011 Dodge Chargers, completely black, with the exception of Westford Police on the sides of their cars. The backs of the cop cars are debadged and have reflective paint that if you shine a light on it and it will reflect POLICE. It blew my mind the first time I saw POLICE reflect back to me when I turned on my head lights when it was getting dark and I was behind a cruiser. Not sure if this is illegal, or what the cost may be but it's a discreet and subtle way to represent your team. May even be more cost effective than the color scheme you plan to go for.

Those emblems don't look too bad, Koupsx4110. Thanks. I think they would look good in the 3 normal spots. And then ghosting the logos on the car does actually sound pretty bad ass. I'll look into ghost flames around Charleston.

Alright, so I was playing Forza4 today. And I was wondering to myself on how I should design the outside. Holy shit...how could I forget that I can design my car in Forza4? So I'm not scrapping the themed idea, but I think I'm going to change it around a little.

I think what I did was pretty bad ass and I'd like to hear opinions on it. Maybe I can clean it up a bit if it's too much or add something to made it stand out a little more. Now mind you...the wheels in the pics are just for how it might look, but they are sharp looking imo. And the spoiler will probably change to GT spoiler so an FYI before you tell me it too big, lol.

Hopefully these are enough angles to give you the best idea of what it can be like. And if the pics look cut off I'm sorry. Not sure why they did that.

Just paint it like this and be done.

I think that spoiler is WAy to huge.. I like the blue and white.. but i don't think I'd go with a white hood, just the white on the bottom and the white rims will do.

 

[Jalum]

Yeah, that spoiler was just on there for the game. I will never have anything that damn big on the Koup. Lol. I'll leave the hood blue when I do it and see how I like it. It doesn't look too bad, but seems like it's missing something without something on the upper half. We'll see when I actually do it.
