after trying a test magnetic sheet I discovered that by taping it, it no longer held as much of a seal and flew off my hood at 60mph. I then had to revise my thinking my next option was to use electrical tape - after much pushing I got my dad to agree to let me use tape claiming that "if it doesn't look nice at any point, it all has to come off" I started with a blank picture and used paint to get a concept design: I slowly began the work of adding electrical tape, trying my hardest to keep it nice and after much more tape I finally got done with the taping! been adding static clings to the windows which look awesome from the inside. finished spraypainting the guns this afternoon. ALMOST DONE!

sure do! and yes it's all electrical tape aside from the republic symbols on the hood and trunk. the guns are held on with harddrive magnets from destroyed pcs. had a guy just 2 hrs ago say that he took pictures of it with his phone and was sending them to his friends lol

I'm not sure where Master Drago got his hologram figure, but Hasbro has made quite a few. A quick search on eBay turns up, let's see, 88 current auctions for "holo* emperor", many of them at reasonable starting bids.
Nice kill marks!

lol it's a small one from the old ep2 figures but the sun has bleached out 2 of my 3 lol. I already have "clone wars" ground troop kill marks that I made and I had them on there previously. I have all of the glue residue off and I'm slowly painting it with auto grade spray paint. I'm about halfway done with the white areas. then I'll move on to the gold (previously green in electrical tape version) and the black. due to missouri laws my neons are too low and I need to cover them - so I bought gutter pipe and cut it down so all I need is to fold over the edge so it doesn't damage anything and then mount it with the neons. then I'll be able to use them on a regular basis again. also I intend to get a spray paint they have locally at our auto store called Illumilite that is a clear coat that glows blue in the dark. do it over the gold pinstriping

Oh, how awesome is that?! Is this the stuff? www.duplicolor.com/products/illuminite.html Now I'll have to figure out where I can put some of that on my car. It's worth poking around the rest of the Dupli-Color website as well; there's plenty of inspiration to be found there....
