So I've finally decided on a theme for my car.

Same here! lol. Only thing I know for sure right now is that my calipers will be red :D

Yea, I still have my Genesis with all the Sonic games. I'm going to try and find a way to incorporate that into my car.

I want to see blue liberty spikes down the middle of the challenger.

lol, that would be funny. Don't think I'll do any body mods, it'll mostly be simple stuff that I can afford.
Probably the most elaborate thing I'll do is getting under the hood air brushed. Gotta get more info about that though.

Need a flat screen in the trunk with the SEGA hooked up to it, then get a 3' Sonic to stand in the drivers seat and some stuff for under the hood and you are set my friend!

Yea, the biggest hurdle will be getting an affordable screen for under the deck lid that will take RCA. I was thinking of using a monitor and getting an RCA-to-VGA converter, but I'd have to find an SOG monitor to handle it. I also need to see about the limits of the cords from the controllers (I don't think they are very long). I'll also need some way to secure the console for when I'm driving and at shows (so it's not just sitting out in the open for someone to swipe).
Under the hood I'm thinking of getting the felt cover airbrushed with scenes from one of the original Sonic levels (probably Emerald Hills). They are starting to finally make engine covers for the v6 as well, so I'll probably see about getting one and getting it airbrushed with Sonic on it.
Calipers will be painted red and I'll have black rims. White rims would probably be more appropriate, but I don't think they even make them (and they'd be a pita to keep clean).
Hmm...what else?
The big sonic in the driver seat would probably be cool, but finding one that didn't cost $100+ would probably be difficult.
Great ideas. Throw anything my way if you think of it :smileup:

Sure, I had my hood liner sprayed with a picture I drew up, I wanted it to look like Snot Rod from cars, without the blower and with a Chally hood.
