Fahrenheit 451 Special Edition

Here is my latest mod.
"FAHRENHEIT" decal.




My smart is completely debadged so this is only badge/name on my car.

Very nicely done. I can only imagine folks talking about seeing a new "Fahrenheit" on the road!

Hello,

I don't understand the whole debadging thing, the car looks silly without the logo and smart on it - sorry my opinion.

Is there a significance to your chosen word or simply something that popped in to your head.

Note to be rude though; is it the photo angle or is it sloping slightly from the left up towards the right?

Cheers

Ian

I take it you don't read books (or watch old movies) much. Read up on this and maybe this will explain the meaning better. Fahrenheit 451

So cruel to people who don't recognize smarts! "Look mommy! It's a Fahrenheit car!"

I like to confuse people!
Also I like to customize my cars and my smart is not Passion any more, so I wanted to get a new badge. Personally I hate "Passion" name.
Why I chosen this name, follow the link Bum-Bling-b posted. Now I have riddle on the wheels. This generation of smarts also known as 451. So Smart + "FAHRENHEIT" badge = "not so cute car".

And yes it is a camera angle, badge is perfectly straight.

Looks good... the bottom picture I can almost see flames. I would have left "451" in the decal. I get the same reaction from my hot wheels decal from people who don't get it.
I like it.

It is interesting too that "fahren" means to travel or drive in German. So fahrenheit works well on the car for several reasons!
