Thanks for the opinions on which looks better..i wasn't looking for whether you thought it was cheesy or not..that was not the question.
As far as detracting from the motor, i am not too worried about that..these cars are outlandish and in your face from every aspect including motor, looks of the body and their sound..i doubt any real car guy looking at my car at some parking lot show in the summer is going to let a mural shift his focus away from what he really wants to look at..
i am doing this just for that extra little bit of in your face appearance to go with the attitude of the car itself....
