get someone to photoshop some differnt designs on, see what they look like.

i was dead set on putting a checkered falg on my roof. then got someone to show me what it would look like and it looked awful! well, to me anyway. only put something you really like on aswell, not just for the sake of it.

Why not get it wrapped then, that way if you get bored of it you can remove it, with a heatgun, some meths and thinners.

if you want to go for the airbrushed style, or any picture you want infact, then they are printed on vinyl, which is stuck the to the roof, so you can take it off anytime, but it obviously cant be put back on after that.

yeah, you can take them off, if just depends how good the paint job is, what type of vinyl it is and how long it is left on. They can be removed though as i said with a heatgun and after you get it off, meths and synthetic thinners.

Some cars we do at work, you would never know that they had anything on at all. Others, you can only start to peel the vinyl off and it will take the paint off back to the bare metal

I'l be having the roof wrapped on mine when i have some spare time at work. It will be very unique to say the least, not seen anyone else with anything like it.

I got a vinal union jack on mine, was hard to get straight but brightens up the car. Ive been told they fade in the sun, although ive had mine for 2 years and no problems. Got it from minisport.
