Thanks for the reply on the difuser :wub: I know on the Corvette I built the entire underside of the car was sealed off and flat. I always figured it had something to with keeping the car on the ground. The aero on these cars is so much different from Nascar type cars which is all I really know of the "how things work" :lol: I've always been a big fan of these cars too from this series to the Rolex/Grand Am, V8 Supercars, etc. I think I like the way the difuser changes the air behind the car too. Takes the draft effect away a little bit and makes the drivers have to get up on the wheel.

I made them. I located a number of Monster advertising images on the internet. From those images, my brother downloaded the ones I wanted into his computer program he uses in his sign business. We photographed the car with a scale ruler next to it so we could "scale" the artwork to the correct size. Then I laid out the design I wanted on the car which was green pearl on the back, as green is the Monster color, and black on the front. We then arranged the images on an 8 1/2 by 11 scaled page in the computer....we split the sheet into the Red Bull and Monster Energy images and printed them on white decal paper. I clear coated the decal paper, as per the instructions, and when dry, I applied them. It is really easy to do. I really love the idea of creating my own decals and race car sponsorships.

Thank you for the reply Peter! I'm going to try this..... with your permission.:( I would love to try this with the new Camaro and some Repsol printing.
