Yeah. My car goes fast but it looks like all the other Japanese sedans around town. I found the solution. Now I'm just trying to decide on the right design.
My Gateway to "Real" Downtown.
I was walking downtown with a camera when I came across an event called, "DreamCon" at the Austin Convention Center. Outside the North doors to the facility was a line of really fun cars. All decorated with swirls of color and provocative anima characters. Most of the cars were lowered and a peek inside a few engine compartments showed that the guts of the cars had been tweaked for street racing. Oh Boy! And I was looking for a new hobby!!!
Of course I still need to land on a color scheme and some busty graphics for the sides and the hood. I took some "field notes" with an M240+35mm ZM lens. I'm sure the brain trust here will help me decide just what would be appropriate for car decor in my neighborhood.
These folks have serious hobbies. Mine? Not so much.
The endpoint of the photography for this walk.
The rest of the way back to the car was spent quietly pondering
whether I should go with Anima characters or if
Pokemon characters might unnecessarily date me.
I'd hate to be the only 68 year old on my block
still sporting Pikachu on the hood of my car...
...Maybe Team Rocket instead.

You know me well enough to know I'm just joking. A bad joke at that.

Keep your car and graft on a set of 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Tail fins. Those with the bullet tail lights should really help set your car apart from the crowd.
If your current ride is not High End enough for the Caddy fins try a lower cost alternative: The 1960 Plymouth Belvedere.
You will surely stand out in the crowd. Help it along with custom graphics of cameras, shutters and add a real Tripod for the Antenna.
No need for a new car when you can make your own "your own".
