Well there are alot of really cool graphics out there. For starters you can go on Ebay and just type in a search for car graphics or vinyl graphics and you will find a billion differnt things there. Also be careful with quaility. If it isn't going to last 5-8 years it's trash. Oh and don't use silver because that is what color I'm going to use hahahaha. Hope this helps.

cant answer costs, but opnion on color ...
you have blue ... when I think blue I think gold ... So maybe a metallic yellow... or bronze/gold stripe? Silver would be ok, or you could go with an off shade of NB, would be "ghosted" or some such.

the costs depends on which type of paint like chamillion, candy, or just plain colors. As for airbrush it also depends on what design you want and so forth and so on. I have graphics on my tC right now and I also have the same color. Here are some pix for you to get some ideas....

Zach, you can also check out Synthetic Designs, which is where most everyone in DFW has got their graphics. You can talk with Angel and give him an idea of what you want, he also has a book you can look at and then make changes. I believe his web site is www.syntheticdesigns.com. You can also talk with Hank and he can give you some more info.

I dont' think there are templates...but you can show them and they should be able to copy it easy.

Mine is custom. I don't know if you've seen my graphics...the guy that did mine makes them one of a kind. Once he prints the vinyl, he destroys the file so no one will ever have the same design as you. :-P

I like the gold and/or bronze. On blue, looks good.
