There were some complications with the graphics and the car isn't done yet. I'm picking up the car tomorrow but we still need to make 4 of the logos at a different sticker place. I'll post pics when they are available

.

Sorry for the delay, it's been frustrating for me too!

**GZA** · 02-23-2006, 08:50 PM

They still didn't finish your decals?!?! What happened? I thought those guys did like D1 cars and stuff?
I feel bad for you man.

**Ben** · 02-23-2006, 09:42 PM

Yes, they do all the D1 cars. Unfortunately, there was a major lack of communication and things didn't turn out as planned. I'm going to be picking up the car tomorrow but I still need to get 4 logos printed and apply 8 others. The major tear pattern and large HSPN logo have been installed, but I'll have to do the other 12 sponsor logos myself.

im excited to see your car when the graphics are done....

**Nivek** · 02-24-2006, 10:12 AM

Maybe this means we should start a sticker/wrap shop in Socal catering to the performance guys. Hmmm....

**Ben** · 02-24-2006, 03:02 PM

OK, a quick disclaimer and then some pics!

The graphics are not finished! There are only 2 logos on the car (HSPN and King of Imports). There are about 12 more logos that need to go on, most importantly Team RD & IWSTI on the front door

(see the photoshopped pic at the end). I also just want to say that it looks about 10x better in person...the camera doesn't do it justice. The car also desperately needs some wheels

. I've been bugging Enkei and they said I should have them soon...we'll see.

Anyway, on to some pics:

Photoshopped with the Team RD, IWSTI, & SO JDM logo on the side door:

Some other angles:

It's hard to see with the bright sun, but it actually says www.HSPN.com not just "HSPN"

These are the other white logos that need to be applied to the rest of the car. I have a pile of stickers just sitting here. I'll try to get them on when I install the APR mirrors & Esemes grille tomorrow:

Braille Auto Development
The Brake Man
Enkei
Recaro
Cobb Tuning
NRG Innovations
ACPT
Schroth Racing
Hotchkis Tuning
TEIN
APR Performance

LOOKING GOOD! even though it sounds like it was a total hassle. Good to hear that you didnt get pulled over on the way back from the shop too!

Love the V1 in the F150...

AndrewSS · 02-24-2006, 03:17 PM

looks good, like you said, it begs for more logos, I cant wait to see it filled in

CicioSTi · 02-24-2006, 03:28 PM

Man Ben the car looks AWESOME. I am SO jealous. Sometime I am going to have fly out there, and hang out with you guys for a weekend.

Keep the goodness coming!

LOL yes, it looks completely bare. I guess because...IT IS. I'll post some more pictures when the rest of the logos are on and everything is filled in

.

**Ben** · 02-24-2006, 04:32 PM

Better pic of the KOI logo:

And a better pic of the windshield banner (looks funny at this angle, but it was the only way to get the www. and .com to show up on the camera):

**Nivek** · 02-24-2006, 10:26 PM

Damn, I am jealous.

GJM · 02-24-2006, 10:58 PM

I am not usually a fan of graphics on cars, but those look great.

Car is really coming together. Is there anything else we should expect to see soon (besides the grille and mirrors), or are you going to call it quits for now?

**Ben** · 02-25-2006, 08:16 AM

The mirrors are on right now, and I'm about to throw the grille on and take some pictures.

Other than that, it needs the wheels and the APR carbon fiber front splitter. The front splitter will probably go on next week and who knows when Enkei will have the wheels

I've been waiting since November, and so have all their suppliers. Once those things are done, that's pretty much it for exterior stuff (besides finishing the graphics and putting the rest of the logos on). Perhaps an APR wide body kit later on down the road...if they're willing to give me one like the mirrors and front splitter
