Love it, but if it were me, I'd lose the checkered flag on the wing ends and go with black there. I think it would give more strength, visually, the wing.

Afterall, they're just toys, really fun and expensive toys, but toys none the less, so have fun playing with it!
Thanks bud....EXACTLY the spirit I'm going with.

I see what you mean. I'm a bit torn on the wing end caps.

SPOT ON BROTHER!!!

Thanks bud!
Yeah, I understand how it could be a bit busy. Though, I'm not one for 'understated'.
Also, I just see all the great angles and lines that I want to highlight or accentuate. As others have noted, the beauty is its all vinyl....so it can be removed or changed with great ease.

Looking forward to your incoming RS
Yeah, I can understand your 'busy' point. The beauty is I can 'play' with the design since it's all vinyl.

You want honesty?

Initially I thought your post was a joke. The car is like a walking sandwich board. Because of all the visual add ons you almost could not see the designs of the car. Tone it down. Driving this on a public street will only bring laughter and derision. The fact that you are asking for honest opinions indicates you have doubts as well.

Nope... I didn't ask for opinions. Just sharing.

As for what others think...I don't give a FU($ what anyone else thinks.

I would also welcome folks to share their hateful opinions to my face in person.

Interesting.... I kindly asked for 'respect and good vibes' in my original post.... Yet you two decided to go the opposite route.

Really appreciate that. Thanks.

Welcome to the Internet where all opinions are welcome and you cannot moderate people's input. You can also be a pseudo tuff guy.

I think your personality requires you to call attention to yourself and this is one way to do it.

To me I'm torn between laughter and liking some parts of the design.
