I have to say I'm not normally into these sorts of mods, but those are really cool looks! It really makes the car much more youthful and fun. Good job!

It looks very juvenile to me. Something you would see on a modified 1990 Honda Civic driven by a high school student racing around the freeways in this part of town. But, at the end of the day it's your car and if you like it then that's all that matters.

Get rid of the red accents and you've done a nice job of camouflaging your car from other battleships that may be gunning for you.

Very cool. I like the art-car concept.

I like the idea of being able to have a new look every year without changing cars!

Striking looks! Must hand it to you for the courage to do with the car what you really want. I like the almost abstract concept, not crazy about the wheels. My eyes want something more substantial in those wheel wells.

John, your post edited to remove unnecessary comments!

As for the wrap?
Not my personal taste, although I agree with some that it would look a whole lot better without the red accents / wheels, overall, still not for me, but thanks for sharing.

Its your car and so your choice........thanks for taking the time to share.

Thanks, we must remain politically correct at all costs.

My thoughts too. I like the design concept and would love to see it with dark (gloss) rims. Otherwise very cool.

If I was really desperate for attention, I would have gotten a convertible or a corvette because those are really nice cars but I have yet to hit my MLC yet. TC

I usually drive on different wheels, these are just for car shows and events. I will get some pictures with my regular black/chrome wheels when I switch back. TC

Isn't the red part of the Jon Olsson scheme? I think as an art car it looks better that way.

True, but 20's are much better for regular driving. TC
