I have a huge delema, just looking for some advice.. My car is at the body shop right now and has been for 2 weeks, its finaly going to paint this week and i have bought a LTW Etched glass flag for my car, I've never seen the etched glass on Boston green met. before so i'm not sure if it would look good.
so my question is UNDER the clearcoat and be a first to do this.. or to just slap it on top like everyone else?
and if anyone has pics of a Etched galss LTW flag on Boston green then that would be really helpfull

remember that if you grow tired of it, it'll pull right off if it's over.

If you don't know if you will like the flag and you put it under, its over. You now have a piece on the car that you dont like and cant do anything about without getting those panels resprayed. because the paint won't have fully cured when they clear it(takes a good month or so) if you tried to pull the sticker off, chances are the paint under it will come up too.
I vote put it on top, esp if you're not 100% sure. If you know what color you're looking for in a LTW flag then have it painted in and cleared over.

If you put it on top, I will be mad that you made me ship it overnight.

i'm just in a delema now, i've got ppl throwin me both ways fuxin w/ my head.. i was set on under no problem now Everyone is tellin me ontop.
i'm not one for the norm.. I think its still going under just because i know of noone that has it done. and if i dont like it i'll just hafto grow to get usto it.
I give them the word tonight, tomorrow at 10am or so its fate is sealed.

So much for telling me you needed it BY monday. I was hoping you would make it worthwhile for me to pay the extra costs of shipping it next day.

lol, if you're so set on going under that when 80% of the people say over you still go under...why ask? Put the flag under the clearcoat, it's not that big of a deal plus it will look smoother and you don't have to worry about wear and tear.

just make an executive decision and put it under. If you dont like it i am sure you can sell it to some teenage ricer kid like me who will like it.
