sorry

i do really like the stripe...but....i hate to say it , it looks crooked in the back where the rear panel meets the back of the back door , also it goes up and down on the hood, notice the body line is straight , the stripe sits on it on both ends but not in the middle-i'm still talking about the hood piece...if a clear piece could be attached to the stripe on the outside about 3 inches wide and then pulled off it would help keep the stripe straight while installing...maybe it is the pic or my eyes...if you pull a string line on it you may be able to see if i am right or if i'm drunk...i haven't dropped a drink in over 2 years.......i hated to say and hope i'm wrong....to me it is like if i had bad breath , i would not be offended but greatful if someone told me.

I don't believe the back is crooked. It might just be the angle of the photo or something. The front on the left side does not follow the crease. The stripe is straight but the hood is a compound curve. Hard to follow. I do think that it should follow the crease however.

Looks good, but you should have at least painted the gyrocopter shaft red. :)

I doubt seriously that the HHR logo is an exact match to any existing font. Companies like GM have graphics departments that spend more time than you can imagine designing such things. A tweaked existing font is possible but just grabbing some existing font would be pretty cheesy.

If you wanted to match it exactly, you'd scan it, trace over it with a vector-based drawing app and use that... an exact duplicate.

Manchaug is a little village of Sutton Massachusetts. It's between Worcester and the Rhode Island border.
