You're best off running some Google image searches for the JGTC and other racing leagues. That'll give you an idea for overall composition.

As far as major color swaths go (like the blue & yellow Spoon cars) the cheapest way is to use a vinyl wrap for a section of the car. That said, it's not the most durable or fade-resistant way.

Ultimately, you're going to need to work with a vinyl print shop to print the stickers and in the case of a full body wrap, do the installation.

Personally if you don't race why go through all the trouble? It's a lot of work and money to cover a whole car in vinyl. I know my 00 Civic Si was covered on both sides and would have cost about $400-600 retail. Lucky for me I know some people

All the themes in my thumbnails below were labor intensive.

You realize all those stickers are required for 2 reasons:
1. he's actually sponosored by those companies
2. It's required for the racing series he runs.

Not trying to be an ass, but stickering up your car like that when its not required for racing identification or sponsorship just screams "POSER!!!" :hs:
