john! 1 Posted January 11, 2010 Quality install( wet?) the pics are fine Dan Used mask on the vinyl and rapid tac 1 Installed in about a hour. The angle on the stripes is odd but i matched what the previous installer had on them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MaderDesign 3 Posted January 12, 2010 Looks good, like you said the stripe should have followed the hood lines. Weird. But i like the work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bugzmaxx 0 Posted January 12, 2010 great job. looks like the stripes are reversed.they look like they would follow the hood line better if you switch sides. looks great. As long as the customer is happy. That's all that matters:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hippie459MN 6 Posted January 21, 2010 Looks good, like you said the stripe should have followed the hood lines. Weird. But i like the work. I agree on folowing the hood line as well. They look great though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MacGrafix 5 Posted March 11, 2010 The only judgement on work is that of the customer. It doesn't matter what anyone likes or how it looks, the final is from the customer. If customer wants it, they get it....period. Not for any of us to sway them over to our opinion. It's for them to decide. Geat work Guest, as long as the customer likes it, that is the final evaluation. Personally, I think it looks different, and I have always been one for going against the grain. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mabscotthandyman 1,410 Posted March 11, 2010 I am with you the customer is always right they should get what they want they pay their hard earned money for a service and should receive what they ask for. I have seen comments on here that the customer don't know how to design or lay out signs or graphics that may be right but they should get what they want. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MacGrafix 5 Posted March 11, 2010 As far as I am concerned, it is our job to complete the design to the customer's specs. If we want to take our time and create one that we believe would be better suited to them, then that's a personal choice. Usually the customer has an idea in their head and they want it to look like that, no matter how discombobulated it is. I give them what they want and maybe a few other ideas and it is ultimately their choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deth502 39 Posted March 11, 2010 great job. looks like the stripes are reversed.they look like they would follow the hood line better if you switch sides. looks great. As long as the customer is happy. That's all that matters:) i didnt make them, so i cant say for sure, maybe the op will clear it up, but i dont think the stripes are angled. i think teh ends are 90 deg, and its just the angle of teh hood making an optical illusion that they appear angled out.

john! 1 Posted March 11, 2010 the edges are straight, the hood curve made them look angled Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
