I think ghost graphics are very nice, but imo they have to be very subtle and done right. I've never seen one on a CTS and to be honest im not sure if i would care for it. It would have to be small.

I gave it about a half of a though, it would have to be a very light suttle gray or silver and just flow well with the lines to give it a badass effect......not sure how it would work, but would love to see it done and think more about it

show car only... a bit ostentatious for a daily driver.

:yeah:





I do like it on old classics though... '57 Chevys, '32 Ford roadsters, and the like... not real sure it would look good on a style as minimalistic as the CTS...

I'd toyed with the idea of doing a ghost circuitry/chipboard effect that would only be visible in direct light, but that's as far as it has gone... and have a feeling it would look pretty questionable in real life...








Oh and... it's spelled "subtle"... ;) :p

A few people have done the chrome logo's on the side of their cars, I wonder how a ghost graphic of the CTS logo (small one) would look on the trunk lid and maybe the front quarter panels? Say a light silver on the dark colors, maybe a more mirrored silver on the light colored cars.

YES............invision it in gold with the gold pinstrip trimming all the top of the quarter panels and the trunk. Don't forget to put the small gold logo just below the center brake light. Insead of the Smokey and the Bandit Edition. We'll call it The Lord Vader SPecal Edition!! we'll clean up on the idea rights!!!!!!!! :bang2: :woohoo: :histeric:
