This way your car can be confused with a Hyundai. That company has been aping classic designs for years.

A growler in the center deck lid would look neat and purposeful. I took the XK off my decklid too. I tend to do that on just about every car I own. Looks cleaner and is easier to wash and detail.

That looks fun.
It's what modern printable removeable materials have done for customization that can easily be rolled back.
People will wonder for sure.

My favourite to date is being asked if my Supra was a turbo.
