I was thinking about some cool things to do with my hard top today and i made a few quick and messy photoshops for a general idea. Let me know what you think.

that first one reminds me of a pimple. haha.

I like the 2nd one a lot. For the 1st one, if you made it into a red target or pin wheel, it might work better.

Hahaha, right before prom... :shock:

I think the second one would look pretty sewwt if the placement was right.

Keep in mind the "rising sun" visage doesn't notate much positivity if you lived through WW2.

especially elderly korean, chinese, filipino people... granted it is a striking logo, and does look pretty neat.

but go read a little about japan during ww2 and it becomes a little less attractive.

Try making the second one smaller scall so you can see more of the battleflag on there.

given any thought to black top, black windscreen surround?

 

[jdmae92]

I read some about the rising sun and WW2, but the rising sun flag is also the current military flag for Japan. Is it still a negative thing?

given any thought to black top, black windscreen surround?

Yes i have but i think it just seems too much like the soft top and i like the look of the same color/same color with design better than all black.

The second ones looks better, but still its pretty wild for street use

 

[reversecaoboy]

i say you send it to touge factory and have them do one of those crazy prints on it.
like this one

 

[vicious-s]

two words: leapord print.

but seriously, the rising sun is a cool idea. i was thinking about doing that on my car, only starting on the trunk lid, and having the rays go all over the car.

 

[PYTHON]

i like the idea of the rising sun alot even if you do the old style its still cool!

 

[jdmae92]

Im really bad at photoshop...

in a word, YES.

and not just to elderly chinese, korean and filipino people - to all chinese, korean and filipino people with any sense of history.

i'd liken it to running the general lee colors.

I see the Confederate flag on a daily basis down here... It probably offends plenty of people, but rednecks will be rednecks...

your right. even my japanese roommate wasnt 100% behind it.

I wouldnt say negative like a swastika (even though they were axis... like mexico lol), but yeah I agree with the confederate flag idea.
