RE: Raiders Special - Opinions Please
I had this made for a friend.
Found a Raiders billiard ball on ebay for 25 buck.
Had Bruce Roosa at koolknobs.com drill it and insert proper threading, as well as send an adapter to hold the boot up (the adapter wasn't yet installed in the picture), for 50 bucks.
Add a little shipping and you have an (almost) one of a kind **** for under a hundred bucks.
Here's a couple of pics with the adapter (please forgive the Seahawks logo, lol).
I'm on my second ****, finally found the old school logo.

Not a bad idea for a car. I wouldnt do it, its pretty nerdy, but not a bad idea overall.
MUCH better than imitating anther car or, worse yet, acting like Barricade from transformers!!!!
Anyways, I think whats important is you emphasis Oakland Raiders on the outside. You cant just do the color and crossbones and pirates and crap. Then you look like some skater punk who happens to have a nice car. You need to also put Oakland things on the outside to make it obvious thats why you did the car like that.
Also, have considered passing up the "small stuff" like stripes, emblems, license plate frames etc, and putting all of that money into a really nice airbush job on the hood? You could get some crazy black/silver design airburshed on that hood that will scream raiders. Maybe black stripes down the back half of the car.
Hmmmm.
