I really could use some opinons..
I don't have photoshop, so allow me to explain what I am thinking.
I have an 07 blue, and that color is very similar to the fighter planes the USA used in world war 2. I am 58 and a military historian buff...soooo...
I have found a site that makes vinyl decals for aircraft, and I am thinking of modding my HHR to resemble a WW2 fighter.
I'll put a white star on the hood, the star and bars on the doors and to top it off, instead of small Japanese flags ( used to signify kills ), I'll put a few Japanese car shaped flags on the doors.
here's a link to what I want to do,http://www.1000pictures.com/view.htm....jpg+x600+y400 ,anyone with photoshop , feel free to create something.
I respect and want your opinions, especially yours miztkity.
Thanks

Mock up a couple of fake machine guns on the hood and then so outlines of PT's and the front fendors for the "kills"
A great idea however you decide!!

That sounds like it would look good.I love old aircraft.An HHR with a F4-U Corsair theme...cool.
There is an instructor pilot I work with that had his Nissan pickup done in a P-40 Flying Tiger theme with the shark jaws behind the front wheelwells and the whole truck painted like pieces of sheet metal held together with rivets.Must have cost a bundle...

I love the concept!!! You need that little stylized skull and crossbones somewhere, a small one - it's a nice addition, edge of a back window or passenger window.
Well you definitely have a car with lots of HOOD to work with, so you can do a big star there... What is "stars and bars" - like on our flag??
