Your opinions needed...

As many of you know my 94 is currently getting a few HP upgrades

During this time I am also cleaning and repainting the engine bay and some needed cosmetic repairs. I figured I might as well get it to looking as good as she runs. Here is the current idea for the exterior, please give me your honest opinion.



the car is going to be run locally in a 6.0 1/8 mile index series, and heads up races in the Central Texas area...it is a 95% track car, but will see some street/local car shows.

Looks like its missing something to me, cant really place my finger on it, not a fan of the red and white however wonder how a blue flamed design would look.

the colors are burnt orange, black, & gray on a white car.

this is another option we are considering...

I think that looks great. Good way to advertise and I think it is simple and tasteful.

Maybe try painting the flames and such on the hood itself kind of around the scoop like stripes would go. The space between the hood and where the strip starts looks... off to me.

If you dont decide to do the hood, try extending the stripe up all the way to the front facia/fender

(Dont hate on the 5 min photoshop)

The big N and the O need to be a different color that contrasts more on the flames background...If it were me I would go with a blue flames same color as 30th anniv. firebird stripes, black outline/white fill N and O, and "Nitrous Outlet" lettering, as well as move your company slogan to the fender instead of the quarter. just my $.02

Change the colors to a Red O, and Blue N on the side. That ought to do it.
Otherwise it'll look a whole lot like a Jeep Grand Caravan with faux wood-grain sides.

BTW, Thanks for the great service on my latest order!

Im gonna say definatly go with a blue flamed set up. I would do flames streaking across from the fender back, starting low on the fender and ending high on the 1/4. Slogan at the very back like it is now. NO on the door still. And would do the strip up the middle of the hood also.

Go with something similar to your banner ad.

That would look alot better IMO.

Not much on the red/white......blue whit and possibly maroon or something would set it off
