Tripple exclamation mark because of supreme need.  Hi everyone, looking for pics of Hotrods (or any car actually) with the sharkmouth style body paint/graphics. Origonally seen on WW2 fighterbombers (I think) IDEALLY BEHIND FRONT WING ON THE FRONT DOOR. My Google-Fu skills have so far only come up with abject lameness (see below) Thenks everyone. ;D     |

Always liked this idea when used with the right imagination, can work on anything really  always liked that colour scheme this isn't so sucessful  doing it properly   Seems not to have been done much, so got to be worth giving a go |

'That' BMW ;D  "that" BMW has win. Think in that perticular case, the sharkmouth spoils the effect though. |

With the exeption of the Swastikas, I love it. What is that? A Starlet? |

Yeah it's a Starlet. A lot of Japanese clubs seem to use the the 'Swastika'.

A little subtle, but... That is subtle. And cool. Suits the look very well. |

Which is far, far cooler. Is it my imagination or is it a 5-door without a rear door? |

Hmm cant be sure. The swastika in japanese culture predates the nazi swastika. You may find it on samaria banners of the time. I think in japan it is a symbol of good luck (I'm sure I read that somewhere). Also one of the reasons the japanese allied themselves with the germans in the second world war. They saw it as a good omen! |
