Start with a $10 white junkyard hood







Add some Star Trek fonts (I cut them out and glued them thoroughly using a glue stick, careful to clean off the residual glue around the letters)









Mask off original white, sand it down and apply clearcoat







Polish flag created







Add some stickers (bought in Viet Nam)







Final result











The discerning eye will notice that the Polish flag is not exactly symmetrical - This will be alleviated when I apply faux CF to the black areas (my shop is going to do this) - I will overlap some of the white. Also the black spots are bits of black paint that inexplicably got onto the flag portion - How remains a mystery, but when I have some time, I will re-do those areas (probably after faux CF treatment)

FYI the Matiz 1 was made by FSO in Poland until 2007, whereas here in SK they stopped making it in 2000 (replaced by Matiz II)



Also, when I sell the car, I have the original hood

And people make fun of Mexicans for putting there name in old English on the back glass

And I make fun of native English speakers for not being able to use their own language properly.







In Korea, being 30 is akin to being 22, these people grow up slowly (probably because they have ZERO childhood to speak of due to 21903912034 after school things they do), so I can get away with that here.



Haters will indeed hate...

Haha, what you think NOW!







There's better pics, but photobucket won't let me upload them (gay ass errors - FB uploaded just fine)



Anyways, I ended up wrapping the hood in textured faux CF (it's not a flat sticker, if you touch it, there's actually some threads there!)



I'll try to get a better day shot.



Thinking of getting some rims...

MUCH better!
