Oh did I mention that the clients were checking out my VX over the Ferrari's and Lambo's! We Rock!!!! Check her out!!! They even did the under the hood!!! She is better than brand new!!! I am sooooo EXCITED!!!!! EEEEEKKKKKKkkk! before and after shots...:cool:

Very nice! Off the subject... have you ever thought about replacing the Ironman logo with a custom IronWoman logo? :)

Yeah...I just have to find the right people to design it...Do you know anyone...I want it to be the same logo but as "VX" to the front and a "W" next to the face over the "M".

Hmm... interesting, I like that... or where it could go when allowed more than 2 minutes, anyway. Go for it! :cool:

I did some time as a graphic designer in my 20s.... it's kinda fun to rework logos.

OK who's next? :p :p

[VXIRONwoMAN]

somethin like this with the man upside down for the "W"... and the W downsized...

Are you really in Vegas? Cuz I just can't Keep my baby clean! And after that dust storm yesterday, She's now sporting a new color, with that layer of sand and dust :( I clean her up on the weekends, by wednesday she looks just the way she was before I cleaned her up... I can't imagine paying $400 for any car wash :( (prolly cuz I would never aford it!)

[Knigh7s]

Ooh, and give me several minutes, I can have a HIGH RES of your ironwoman sticker thats you can take to a sign shop and have them cut it for you.

Let me know what you would like modified or fixed, I have a High Res version that you can have to take to the sign shop.

How long (in inches) is the sticker on the hood anyways?

[johnnyapollo]

Personally I don't like the "M" used as an inverted "W" - the IronMan Logo is supposed to suggest a human form with the "M" topped by the dot for a head. My Inverting the "M" for the "W" it's hard to read for me, and changes the intent of the original "M." I think etlsport is on the right track, however if the "W" is more like the existing font it would look better, in my opinion (I spent several years doing logo design for a graphic design company).

Moving parts of the lettering above the plane doesn't work for me either - your eye doesn't flow across the logo so it's not intuitive what the logo says. For the hood logo, if you're just modifying the existing logo that is an easy way to do it, however. If you're updating the side logos too, I don't think it would look right. I'm not trying to hurt anyone's feelings so don't take this the wrong way - just my personal opinion.

Lookin' good Chi-Chi...those guys must be in about the same league as Beej. :cool:
yeah - except they did it in 5 hours!! - instead of an entire weekend. wtf? (how'd they do that much detailing in 5 hours?) did they have a small crew work on it, or was it just one lad?

either way, nice job. NOTHING beats a detailed, spotless, clean VX. NOTHING. It's okay to see her dirty after playing, but when play time is over ~ back to spotless is a requirement.

BIG kudos.

[VXIRONwoMAN]

I had 5 guys working on it there! So yea i had a crew working on my baby making her all spotless and shiny!!! YIPPY!!! :p

BTW...Knigh7s got an awesome logo for me! ;) I am putting the logo on hold for now though...I may be getting a Proton...

[Triathlete]

Thats one pricey car wash! For $100 less you could of got some rock sliders to protect your VX from those big bad rocks! :smack:

[JHarris1385]

For that price, they better have used brillo pads on all of the undercarriage, and made the WHOLE thing spotless.

[JHarris1385]

For that price, they better have used brillo pads on all of the undercarriage, and made the WHOLE thing spotless. There is guy down the road that owns a detail shop and does a car per day for $65 in and out, but of course I dont live in vegas.

It looks great but I don't think yours was caked in HOLY Moab Red Dust and many thousands of bugs...so I wasn't about to even attempt to make it look this good on my own...because that would take a week and some days. I am a perfectionist when it comes to these things. They even cleaned my gas cap!!!! did you clean yours?

I invested in a hose. I may even use it some day to get the large collection of bugs off my VX that I collected on a trip to a race last weekend.
