My attempt at making some long-grain... thoughts?

No, it is not a sticker... you can probably guess where it is though by looking at it, haha. I would appreciate feedback/thoughts/opinions on the best looking one. If that is none at all, that is fine too. Played around for funzies with a few dozen ideas tonight and here are the better lookings ones made in the end, imo:

#1 Boxer Big




#2 Boxer Mod




#3 Boxer SVX




#4 Boxer SVX Big




#5 Subaru Boxer



Likes? Dislikes? I can find and jump a cliff now if you like... (or the balcony can do if time is an issue and you have no patience)

Re: My attempt at making some long-grain... thoughts?

The first one if you make it quad cam, not 4cam (that sounds weird to me) and add the SVX like in the fourth one. Also, our engine is 3318cc, not 3300 and 3.3L or just 3.3 might fit better.

The other fonts are also cool but too hard to read quickly. The first one is definitely closest overall.

This is for the engine cover? What you planning to make it out of?

I like it

Re: My attempt at making some long-grain... thoughts?

My point of reference is JDM:



I haven't even looked at the US ones, though I guess I should have haha...
Thanks.

Re: My attempt at making some long-grain... thoughts?

Despite asking for popular opinion I decided to go with what I felt best in an unusual JDM-styled font way in finally finishing my custom engine cover for the SVX. Now... this was done strictly out of fun and obviously holds very, very little... ok, zero purpose. I can and will totally accept any and all "rice" comments you have to offer haha... but I hear it adds another 45HP under the hood (I **** you not!)

Aside from the obvious (45hp added of course, no less.. what else would I be talking about here) I thought it turned out rather well for a botched job. When Nate and I were at the junkyard many months ago and I jacked the engine cover that was missing the emblem... my mind started slipping away with what I felt to be somewhat a cool illuminated design. I'm pretty sure some car manufacturer does it or has done it but anyways. Lastly, all is not well. In fact (and go figure) the diffuser is a tad too thick and I will have to take out a few which will possibly yield **** lighting results if I want to actually make it fit in the engine bay. Little did I know how tight of an area I was playing with... oh well. Anyways, here's a few work-in-progress shots and the final product so to speak:







And, even a video link for funzies....

Now if I could just get my ass to redesigning the gear selector area that I've been pondering for the pas two years... I'd be set.

That is pretty cool. Might have been done before, but not enough that I've ever seen it. Very original. Gotta see some engine bay shots.

Where did you get the light panel from? Now you're giving me ideas...

As icingdeath88 stated, engine bay shots would be nice!

As Gomer Pyle would say.... "Shazam!"

Looks great, that will make the engine bay pop

Wasn't really aiming for a Tron look I guess but that is futuristic so I'll take it I'll try and get some bay shots next weekend when time permits.

Engine bay pictures and color change (even though I will be reverting to white/blue). Never mind the filthy engine it is a work in progress after all.









It'll look much better when I start replacing everything on the engine sometime this summer.... I want to punch the spider blue in the face.
