Besides being a rabid 7th generation Civic enthusiast, I am also a graphic designer. Since I have all sorts of resources at my disposal for the creation of all types of graphics and so forth, I decided to apply them to creating some custom art for my car.

What I did was, I used some translucent marker paper to trace the rear window opening on my Civic coupe, scanned it (in several pieces), and then traced that shape into Adobe Illustrator. I used that shape as a template to create these three designs that should, when cut from outdoor sign vinyl, fit perfectly into the window space.

Maybe later I'll try photoshopping the designs onto a photo of my car, but for now, here they are.

Let me know what you guys and gals think!

pretty cool, i don't know what they will look like on your car though. but if you put it on i think the last one will look the best. post pics when your done.

looks like a decent idea, and the graphics, you should photoshop it onto a black civic, get an idea of how it looks when applied.

I drive a silver car, so I didn't want to use a color and then be stuck with that color for all of my details. I also don't want to drive a rainbow. So I did them mostly in grey so it would be neutral.

Keep it clean and don't put stickers on your windows

pretty interesting, very unique...


I think a combo of the 1st one(bottom part) and the futuristic
design of 3rd would make a great one

so where's it supposed to go?

I agree, I like the bottom part of the first one the best, I think... But I need more than just a clipped "CIVIC" logo. I don't want to be one of "those" kids, you know, with a big Honda "H" on my back window and junk.

They're designed to fit perfectly in the rear coupe windows. There is a small margin of black edging that goes around the outside of the window. The vinyl would be applied to the inside and the edges would be behind that black edging, so it would be pretty tight.

The vinyl itself is only semi-permanent so there is no problem taking it off if/when I finally get tired of it. Normally I scoff at vehicle signage, but in this case, since I'm designing it myself, I feel that it would be a proper expression of who I am. I'm not just choosing a banner out of some vinyl sign book, you know?

I would never put a big Honda "H" on my car, or anything on the windshield like "CIVIC REPREZENT" or "7THGENRICER" or the ever-popular brush script "RESPECT". Chintzy and played out.

They're specifically designed for the little back window on the coupe.

This is WatchGirlDrifT's car from the Member's Rides section (hope you don't mind!)

I modifed the design to use all white so it would match the car more and stand out--I think this might be a good idea for the final design.
