Danger's car is hardly minimalist. Thus I'm not sure trying to keep it 'clean' really matters.

I say 'yay'.

No, mang, hell no. That is like when you go see a band, and they are wearing shirts with the name of the band they are in. Spinners and a lift kit would rock though.

I like it, but the truth is it's what you like that matters. If you want it do it!

To be recited in a Scottish accent!

Wee hoverin’, fleein’ ferlie fello’,
Wi’ yer stripes o’ black and yello’,
Yer ever sae bonnie, so ye ur,
Like a spring lamb – only smaller and withoot the fur,
But see if ye ever sting me oan the bum again,
Ah’m gonnae jump on yer heid so Ah um.

JD one last thing - the picture at the start of this thread seems to show that you have made a very sensible mod to the Dangermobile... looks like you have moved the steering wheel to the right hand side of the cockpit.

Now you will start to feel the extra horses that UK driving stylee brings.
Well played sir!

I like the stripe. At first I was opposed to the idea (that hood stripe was heinous), but I think this one really adds some nice detail to the car. In fact, now when I look at the pic without the stripe, it looks kinda bland. The full length spyder stripe was too much, but this narrower 3/4 length stripe really fits the car.

If you really want red wheels you could just get three more spares and put those on.

Similar to a gender re-assigment, the D-mobile underwent a steering column change.

I say no to the stripe. for some reason, I only like the stripe on the white cars w/o ground effects.

nay--- too busy with all the scoops and such. Looks better on Particlewave's car because it's cleaner. The hardest thing about good design is deciding what stands in the shadow,thereby allowing something else to take center stage---the eye can only take in so much at once . I've observed that the younger one is, the more distraction they're comfortable with. As we age, we grow to appreciate the 'clean, timeless' lines (less distraction). I guess it comes down to how old and sophisticated you are!

I actually like it JD. I think that it is clean and simple and grounds the look of the car. Not a fan of the hood stripe and I would keep the wheels black. It's a beautiful car and the logo on the bottom does not take anything away from the look. If you like it, you need to do it

I've been flipping back and forth on this one...the stripe does look cool but my Chinese cook Confucius say "less is more" ...if you walk into a room and see five paintings on the wall the eye is not drawn to any of them but if there is only one painting on the wall the eye is immediately drawn to it. JD...your Danger Mobile is that one painting on the wall the way it looks now. IMO it's poetry in motion and you don't have to do anything else to it. Would anyone want to start mucking around with Michelangelo's masterpieces?

I was all set to say Nay, but then went to the first post to see it and actually it looks great. It does tie together the wheels and mirrors and being finished off at the door edge makes it look "right". I am not a fan of the one that goes from wheel well to wheel well.

You can go with vinyl stuff to keep it interesting; however, all that money spent is now attached to my beer refrigerator in the garage now...

Red wheels

Now, some Red Wheels on the Dangermobile may be an option to consider!

Hmm-Yellow/Black and Red??
