infamos Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 This is an initial run. This isn't photoshop. They are magnets but we will fine tune these. I just want to sport them around to see if I really want them attached permantly. It was a challenge to get these made from the original trim. Also I added two gloss black stripes to flow with the grill. http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/g362/unix88/DSC_0103.jpghttp://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/g362/unix88/DSC_0102.jpghttp://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/g362/unix88/DSC_0104.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC_99 Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Its not for me, but it does seem to fit the car very well. Nice work there. Im sure you will probably get mixed reviews on these, but they do seem at home on an 80s styled car. BC_99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyWadd Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Too busy for me. I put black mirrors on my red car and didnt like it though. Maybe if it was yellow/black.

Frenchi934 Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 look good! but if im not mistaken, the cars that came with this trim also came with a black strip around the top surface of the front and rear bumper (to continue the pattern around the whole car) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmyers151 Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 I dig it, very cool. As a revision, you might try getting the ends a little closer to the panel gaps on the doors, quarter panel and fender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infamos Posted June 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 I dig it, very cool. As a revision, you might try getting the ends a little closer to the panel gaps on the doors, quarter panel and fender.That's the plan. The shop doing this didn't take into account that the the sample moldings I gave him were from a flatty and I explained that this was a fatty. So to be able to sport these around we had to cut some pieces and ended cutting other pieces to make it look consistant through out the car. When we do the next revision I'm going to leave the car and he can make it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next one with have precise measurements. Here is a sample:http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/g362/unix88/1985_mitsubishi_starion_esi_1_cd_gallery_zoomed.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmyers151 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 If it's going to be vinyl, I'd say just make them extra long and wrap it around the gap and inside the panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
