Fancy a camouflage F-150? Graphics for entire Ford lineup coming soon
At the LA Auto Show this year, Ford showed off several North American-market Ford Fiestas. The cars themselves received a warm reception, as did the customized versions on hand to show off the possibilities. One Fiesta in particular caught our eye: It was a fairly stock-looking white car with some outrageous black graphics on its flanks. We came to learn that this wasn't just a one-off. It was, in fact, part of a new Ford program to allow buyers to similarly customize any Ford in the vehicle lineup.
The generically-named Ford Custom Graphics are a series of vinyls that can be used to add a little extra something to your blue oval beauty. Ford says the graphics are scratch-resistant and weatherproof, and retain the car's 3 year, 36,000 mile warranty. They will be sold exclusively through Ford dealers.
Although the Fiesta designs are the only pages open right now, there are previews of other planned graphics on the FordCustomGraphics.com website. We've assembled some of them here for you in the gallery below. The lower camo on the F-150 is particularly eye-catching, but there are similar treatments for every single vehicle in the Ford family brochure. Check 'em out.

Design Previewed: 2011 BMW 5-Series by TopCar, Cardi and Lumma
Two Russian tuning firms and a German company have teamed up to offer a new kit for the 2011 BMW 5-Series F10. TopCar and Cardi, from Russia, and Lumma Design have joined forces to create an aggressive styling package which will likely boost performance.
The bodywork was created by TopCar and Cardi. Lumma Design is keeping their cards hidden when it comes to the engine tuning kit they are developing for the package. Full details should be released when their car is presented in April 2010.
Bulging wheel wells lead to aggressive side sills. The carved line leading from the front bumper to the sills is a particularly nice touch. In back, a carbon fiber spoiler is added on top of the trunk, and a smoother bumper will also be included. A carbon fiber rear diffuser, quad-tailpipes, and triple-spoke wheels rounds out the package.
Judging by the included renderings, the car will maintain a bulging nose, with new carbon fiber front lip installed underneath. The new bumper features five sections of air inlets, with honeycomb grille, and what looks like integrated LED lighting.
