Is constructive criticism allowed?

You guys.. and other big name builders for that matter, take all this time and effort into building a beautiful car, with all the attention to details and then you finish it off by slapping a tacky (pun intended) sticker across the windshield without even thinking twice about typography (not to mention it really doesnt fit well). When a company doesnt care enough to use good graphic design and type, it kind of discredits the whole build, IMO. .02/hijack

Loving the tailights and the grille. The rims, not so much. Overall, looks really good.

I agree...tail lights and grill should be the way the production car is.
Nice job.

Car looks great but that "ground effects kit" will only last a few months on a street car. Not too mention making changing a tire a bit of a challenge on the road.

But again...great looking car.

I highly doubt that the owner of this vehicle will keep the windshield decals on. If anything the decal was probably done in a simple font for the visibility / readability factor at an event such as SEMA. There were thousands of people and cameras at SEMA- if the decal was done in a fancier more stylish font it probably wouldn't be as legible when the vehicle is in the background or from a distance.

Bullocks. A design that compliments the car, not competes with it, will always get more attention and represent the company's image and products more favorable than the biggest boldest afterthought in a default font slapped on there.

These cars are going to shows and getting magazine coverage why wouldn’t we want our name on it? No one at the show would know who build any of the cars without stickers so we will keep them on the car till we ship them to clients and just so you know a few of them have asked us not to remove them. Good thing we don’t all like the same things or this place would be boring

I don't think anyone is saying not to have stickers--clearly any self-respecting vendor would be expected to advertise their product, and the automotive aftermarket is no difference.

However, a properly selected and designed representation of any brand can improve the customer perception and actually make the company name more memorable.

Example: Best buy's recent logo redesign. In making the logo less "bargain sale" and more clean and subtle, the general feel that the customer gets is less cut-rate electronics and more high-end electronics boutique.

Similarly, simply re-selecting your font choice (and maybe location) for your banners could improve the fesler brand image. When I look at banners like that, I immediately think of a kid that drives around my hometown in a ratted out del sol with "RED NEK CUSTOMS" across the top of his windshield. Same font, same location.

Starbucks is another example--their original logo, although essentially the same as their current one, is much less memorable.

I love the front and rear fascia (especially the tail lights). Couple things I don't like though....

a.) Diffuser panel dips too low at the rear wheel

b.) Rocker panel as it travels rearward appears to dip downward too much.

c.) Don't care for the wheels at all. They look like they belong on a tuner car (which the Camaro is not).

Other than that it's bad ass. Nice work.

Chris, you missed the point. I'm not saying not to use a windshield banner. I do think its important to advertise and sign your work. I'm suggesting that you guys should put the time and effort into the design quality and consistency of your branding on the vehicles you're marketing. It does make a difference. If you skimp in that area, the perception of your whole company suffers.

For example, you guys have a solid logo. The typeface used in it is Futura Extra Bold. Use that same font or even a light version, in correct proportion to the windshield. Then there will be a connection within the advertising to reinforce your brand. Its a simple concept really but is almost always overlooked or discarded completely.
