Is that for real? Not totally feeling it.

Think it needs a smaller something in the bottom right area of the hood to help give it weight and balance.

I personally don't like it, but like others have said: it's your car. If you dig it, go for it!

No ideas at the moment. Been a long day/week. Creative juices aren't flowing.

It is such a large, highly stylized graphic. Hard to think of something that will work in harmony with it. Also had forgotten about your side graphic. Now I'm thinking the hood is too much.

Not my cup of tea.

But I'm more of a fan of understated, subtle mods.

But if you like it there, rock it :D

i have to say i wouldn't do it to my car, but i don't like more than one color on the outside of my car. i'm a fan of very simple. it does need a little something though. i almost wish it were bigger and wrapped over the side of the car right under the windshield. i think that would be pretty badass. you could find some kind of subtle design and take it off the hood a little. it'll bring your eye more around the car and into the lines of it and then along the side instead of just a smack right on the front. all in all it is your car though and i give ya credit for making it your own car. keep it up, you're off to a pretty badass start!

So what if i put a small "VVT-i" decal on the bottom right of the hood. would that help even it out?

I think that looks worse.

Just being honest. Sorry.

I think the side stripe looks good, if you do really want that Toyota wording in front, I would suggest to put it on top of the windshield.

If somehow the side stripe don't cross the driver/passenger door panel, and leave some room for that VVT-I to place below the side turning signal, it would be awesome.

Just my advise

just put the "toyota" at the bottom of the hood straight across. and different font to go with style of your side stripes which i'm loving.

and just a quick aside but does anyone know how to write toyota in japanese? or does it even translate like that? sorry if that's a dumb question i was just kinda wanting some japanese on my car and couldn't think of anything better.
