That is badass. Nice job.
I'm guessing the original was....modified with the.....pattern? What's the pattern made from?
Don't answer if you don't want to, but how much did it cost to have it made? |

Sweet deal. I'd wager that over here, it'd run you 5 times that amount to have someone make even a plain replica, much less one that's all tricked out.
Are you going to do the whole car in the pattern? While being wayyyyy over the top, there's something about those trucks that are patterned like that, that I really like.
Post up some pics with it installed on your car. (Please) |

Well I can ship it over to you but I guess the shipment cost might make it impractical…
This truck art roots deep in Pakistani art! Drivers of these cargo trucks travel and sleep in these trucks for months and have a strong bond with their ride.. it’s like part of their family and this pattern carries all the colors of life they would live for! |

I can see that. It's obviously a labor of love to make them look like that. Seems like it would be a lot of work and take a long time. |

Beautiful. Some of those trucks and buses you folks drive over there are amazing works of art.

I like the way the VW symbol is worked into the center of the design.
Very cool, and practical too

| no joke! If you were careful with the color choice and pattern of something like this, it could have amazing results on the right cars. anyone seen that custom green squareback with this kind of art on the ragtop? For the life of me I cant remember where I saw it-- might be a GFK Japan member but the guy is in the fests somewhere. Ill have to hunt it down and post. |
