My cosmetic modifications did not end with the ones in the previous post. Along the way I have added several others, all of which have contributed to my Transformers theme.
The first, and probably most simple was adding decals of my car's name in the Transformer text to the cowl and dash trim.
Borrowing from one of the first glimpses of Bumblebee in the Transformer movies, I added Aesthetic Creations' Autobot logo decal to the steering wheel.
I later decided that I wanted people to be able to see the Autobot emblem on each external side of the car, so I ordered a set of painted bowties from Gary's Custom.
I finally moved on to the engine bay. The stock engine cover just screams to be painted, and when I finally got around to it I replaced the bowtie center emblem as well.
Yet even with all of this, something was still missing. If my car has a Transformer theme shouldn't I know what it would look like if it could transform? So using this image of Bumblebee. . .
I had Canadian airbrush artist Corrado Mallia adapt the picture to the color scheme of my car and update the head to more closely resemble that of Bluestreak from the 80's Transformer cartoons. The result:
This is to date my favorite modification and definitely gets the most attention. A huge thanks to Corrado for the excellent work!
These mods have completed* my Transformer theme and given my car a one of a kind look that will never be duplicated!
