    I used some "Liquid Chalk" markers... they're a little difficult to use, cause the initial strokes are light, you have to sorta go over them and they can get runny, but the cool thing is you can scrape it off with a razor blade or use Windex, comes right off...

    I hastily did this today when I got home from work... I had a dinner date at 7pm and to top it off, I worked late...so I got home and rushed to get it done... but I'm pretty happy with it...

    GO STROS!!

    I love the retro stripes on the quarter glass.

    Very sharp.

    Thanks, i love my little car! Honda's kick much ass!

    hehe.. thanks... I was gonna use the blue (like in "Astros") but it was too light... didn't look right, so I removed the blue and stuck with the red, orange and yellow... I should've (and may) continue the colors going the other way too... yellow, orange, red, orange, yellow

    na i like how it's just a little bit of the retro color...to much of it would have not had the same effect...would have over done it.

    I did a crappy shoe polish job on mine, but hey its the spirt


    one side says "Go Astros", the other says "Beat the Cardinals"

    I know, I know, its kinda lame and unoriginal, but I keep getting honks and thumbs up from people.
