What exactly do you mean "mirrored"? I mean, I know the concept, but wouldn't the stickers have to made backwards to look like that?
It's bugging the crap out of me because I don't get why someone would do that..or I'm going to have an "Aha, you idot" moment.

you can do that using photoshop or other digital imaging software pretty easily. showing the pictures off like that perhaps because of some law of representation where they weren't supposed to show them? no idea. if done intentionally i would guess it was for litigation reasons or for confusion, haha.
the only ones i've seen made mirrored intentionally are the 'ambulence' ones on the hoods of them for those looking through the review mirror of their cars.

The stickers on the car are not "mirrored", the entire digital image was mirrored at some time. Ex.... the S14 picture looked like this originally.

Someone must have wanted the car mirrored for some power-point presentation, collage, etc....

Obviously I don't do much more than crop / rotate in terms of digital imaging...

The Your Ass Silvia picture likely isn't mirrored...its actually a style that some drift cars adopt to have the decals mirrored backwards on one side of the car. Another example

mirroring the images also allows the graphics person to maintain symmetry on both sides since some elements like words are obviously not shaped the same on both ends most of the time. mostly its just different and catches your attention, which is the whole point.

rrly? :dunno: crazy drifters.
Re: What and why? - Steve85 - 03-05-2010
Ahhh style points.
So the LR Trek must have been altered for some reason.

seen it before. I think it looks like (your) ass too.
