Iron Man Stewart Retro Vinyl Hood Concept

[FOWRUNNER]

Hey y'all I am looking to make a big decision on some vinyl hood graphics... I've always been a huge fan of the original Toyota racing graphic style from the Iron Man Stewart days. I am looking to see if I am completely delusional by attempting this look... Or maybe you folks agree it could be a solid testament to the OG Toyota days. Take a look at the photo and help me out by giving some feedback!!

Personally I love the color scheme. It look pretty good on your truck but is also a little hard to see. If you're going to do it id recommend having it either match the gloss finish of the paint or go matte.

i think it really only fits with white vehicles, kind of like stewart's truck

I agree. White, sandstorm, or possibly black.

On white vehicle - yes, hell yeah

On that vehicle -no, colors clash

As a graphic designer? No. Just no. Not a good look.

As an engineer? Yes. Just yes. It's beautiful! It's a great look!

(unless you remember that most engineers can't even match socks, much less something like this)

That's why the world needs engineers, because you guys can't design things to look good visually AT ALL, and we need engineers to basically tell us visual guys how much you'll ruin our designs in actual application. :hello:

Maybe focus on the white and wrap accordingly? But then you are wrapping fenders, front doors and more... I do agree though, love the OG look.

Go for it dude !

I , like most on this site , am a longtime Toyota fan and follow Toyota off-road and road racing since back in the '80s . Was thinking of doing something similar on my XRS Corolla. Maybe do the entire hood in white with stripes. Or do entire hood in flat black with gloss stripes and flat white outline around the yellow , orange & red stripes .

on white only.....

I like it, just not on inferno. Inferno is the best color already bar none.. why would you possibly want to toss other oranges and yellows into the mix? That color would look best on white.

So NO!

I just got a set of these for my 06 Tundra. Will look great on the new McNeil Fiberglass.
