my first move 
this sun-visor project was actually inspired by the previous thread : http://newscionxb.com/interior_mods/painted_my_sun_visors-t2469.0.html (was going to reply but the forum told me to start a new thread :dontgetit: go figure) and my love for anime. i'm working on making my interior "itasha" style. only did the driver side sun-visors because i have other plans for the other. anyway, do enjoy and i will be posting more photos as i progress.

For those who don't know . . .
Itasha is the use of Anime graphics and "additions" (stuffed animals, life-size toys/figures, pilllow, etc.) to a road vehicle, whether a car or truck. Literally, it translated to "painful car," supposedly chosen because it sounds like "Italian car" . . .
Anyways, it is HUGE in Japan, to a polarized mixed opinion.
Look it up through Google . . . LOTS of neat stuff has been done!
I think the visors look good. The art is nice and well applied. Is that your own character, or one from something?
I wonder what Cowboy Bebop or Samurai Champloo would look like . . .
(Throwing ideas out there for something that would look cool, but I won't do myself.)
What about Samurai Jack . . .

decided to make it larger and with more of my style instead of reproducing a copy of it on the rear hatch panel. a few more lines and colors it should be ready for clear coat.
