Okay, so you wanna know about my “Roman Reigns car” project? Buckle up, it’s a bit of a ride!
It all started ’cause, well, I’m a wrestling fan, and Roman Reigns is the “Head of the Table,” right? So, I thought, “Why not make my car a little bit… Tribal Chief-y?” I know, I know, sounds kinda goofy, but hey, it was a fun project.
First thing I did was research. Looked at pictures of Roman, his tattoos, the whole deal. I wanted to incorporate some of that into the design. I wasn’t gonna paint the whole damn car black, obviously, but subtle hints, y’know?
Step 1: The Decals. I found a guy online who does custom vinyl decals. I sent him some images of Roman’s shoulder tattoo – that tribal design. We tweaked it a bit to fit the shape of my car’s hood. Ended up with two decals, one for each side, kinda framing the hood. They’re a dark grey, almost black, so they don’t scream “wrestling fan,” but they’re definitely there if you look close.
Step 2: The Interior. This was trickier. I didn’t want to go overboard. I decided on seat covers. Found some black leatherette ones with a subtle embossed tribal pattern. They look pretty slick, actually. Also, a new steering wheel cover, same material, same pattern. It just ties the whole thing together.
Step 3: The Plate Frame. This was the easiest part. Found a simple black plate frame and had it engraved with “Head of the Table.” Subtle, but effective. Plus, it’s a conversation starter at traffic lights, haha.
Step 4: The “Finisher” (pun intended). This was a small detail, but I think it makes a difference. I replaced the valve stem caps with black ones that have a little tribal design etched into them. They’re barely noticeable, but they’re there. It’s all about the details, right?
Now, the whole project took me about a month, mostly waiting for parts and decals. Cost me around $300-$400, but it was worth it. My car isn’t exactly a “Roman Reigns car,” it’s more of a “Roman Reigns-inspired” ride. It’s subtle, it’s cool (at least I think so), and it’s a fun way to show my love for wrestling.
Was it worth it? Absolutely. Do I get weird looks sometimes? Sure. But hey, who cares? It’s my car, and I like it. Acknowledge me!
