I like it!

I like it and think it looks unique. It is a simple thing that makes it look dramatically different.

My thoughts exactley! Maybe you could just color match the rear handles in Snow White ? Has to be one of the Simplest Mods for an Excellent Result ! Great Bang for your Buck !

Happy New Year,

I think I would have used some satin Black vinyl though, just for the ease removal and replacement plus I think the vinyl would hold up better over the long run. Modern vinyls can last up to 12 years outdoors now with the high grade stuff. (Sign guy's opinion)

You worked with what you like so great job.

Now, just shave those rear door handles and you have your Nomad.
i so want to try this with vinyl. What say you?

i would think vinyl would be quite hard to lay on it. Not impossible but hard.

Just to get a nice straight line on the car without wiggles, would be a fun task through that area since it has complex curves and so forth.

I wouldn't be painting my car, so I would probably try vinyl and probably get pretty ticked off doing it.

LOL!
Do I see another mod-party happening?!
Don--you did say I needed to black-out my lights!
Maybe I should have a bar-b-que at the compound.

I like that blacked-out look on the white and the art deco font on the door goes with the look of the car--very nice.

While any reason to gather is good, you will need some THIN vinyl if you want the light to show thru, Johnny Law just hates that. Depending on what Tim says and how much it costs, I really want to try this.

Let me ponder on this one for a while. There is more than one way to do it with vinyl. I might try and make a template so the pieces can be reproduced.

Hmmmm
