If anyone is interested i could do accents, or even bodies for preety much any marker for a price. I will want to play with this for a while and see if it holds up, but, its ment to be on a car, so, it should weather well. Anyway, if interested, send a PM my way.

I'd be interested to know how well those stickers stay stuck to the plastic body. Did you have to clean or smooth down anything on the body or did it apply pretty easily? It does look good and pretty soon we'll probly see some real carbon fiber bodies for the ION.

I think those would cost a lot more than the $25 bodies that have been mentioned. Not that people wouldn't buy them anyway. :)

the sticker sheet was purchased off a auto shop website, seeing as its meant for car graphics.

I suppose cleaning with rubbing alcohol to make shure all the oils were off the marker could have helped, but, no, tis was not done, and it seems to be sticking fine (will have to shoot it a few times)

thanks for the compliments, i also did my viking, will post it up soon.

You did a really good job.

How much to do another?

Here's another idea for you...

Try using the carbon fiber sticker sheet on the ribs of the ion instead of the flat parts. That way you can have color with carbon fiber ribs!

...What kind of cuttings was necessary for the ion.

each piece was individually cut and placed on, some took multiple tries, but, yeah, turned out nice
