Beast Mode: Seahawks Tesla

Bsweasel1 · Aug 17, 2015

Hey everyone. I just finished my project car. I had a blast working on my car and thanks to the great people at Wrapjax.com who designed the wrap for me. I know its not for everyone, however its my team.

How well does that go over in Texas?

As a lifelong Seahawks fan, and a Boeing guy, I think both your car and license plate are super cool! Do you mind if I share a photo or two with friends?

Ok, that's some fan dedication right there. I applaud your efforts in repping your team.

you know what your project car looks better than my first car, 2009 honda civic with neon green rims.
GO TEXANS!

Very nice! Although, what does the "12" mean?

I suspect you know the answer.

The Seahawks invented the 12th Man concept, then found out that it was already copyrighted by Texas A&M, who has had the 12th man as a tradition since 1922.

The school allowed the Seahawks to use the moniker for a token $5000/year.

This year, the Seahawks have opted to drop the "12th Man" in favor of just using the number 12, since it is more of a symbol anyway, and no doubt to keep from offending all the "12th Women". I doubt the $5000 had anything to do with it -- they probably spend more than that on Gatorade per game.

I am an Aggie and also live in the Seattle area part-time and am both a Cowboys and Seahawks fan.

Nice! Here is another Seahawks wrap on a Lamborghini:

Go Hawks!

True fan to be sporting that in another state, not to mention in Texas where football is sacred. I hope you get support from other Hawks fans when you see them.

I was just going to get the calipers Hawk green and put a 12 in the rear window and on the front doors, but I live in Seattle so no big whoop

LetsGoFast · Aug 18, 2015

Too funny. A friend of mine just sent me pictures of your car on Facebook last night. She is apparently friends with one of your parents. Do I correctly infer from the plate that you fly for UA?

Schmo · Aug 18, 2015

I live in Austin, but am originally from Spokane. These pics just made my day! Well done...

AMPd · Aug 18, 2015

That's one way to get your car key'd

Just kidding!
Looks unique.

Texans would like it. Texans have little or no animosity for most other states or their sports teams, with a few exceptions I won't go into here.

Texas is the most hated state in the country, but Texans have no idea that this is the case and would be baffled if you told them that.

I find most attempts at theming a car are pretty cringe inducing, but that Seahawks wrap looks slick. Nice design.

P.S. My wife borrowed them to send to her Seahawks-fan relatives in Seattle.

As a Patriots fan, the only thing nicer would be to see it get intercepted by a red, white and blue #21 right before the finish line :biggrin:. Enjoy your sweet ride.

With under-inflated tires?

CAC77 · Aug 18, 2015

More probable than not.

smilepak · Aug 18, 2015

That look so slick!

It seems I haven't spread enough reputation around to give you a fist-bump there, not that it matters since you're at 11... so I'll just publicly do it.
