it really looks amazing!!!
Def bold to get it in pink, but still, it looks great.

If it were me, I would do it, but instead of pink pedals, I would blue. Maybe you should get some blue details.

they are cherry blossoms. i think people aren't getting the idea that he didn't really "want" pink flowers but it has a bit more meaning.

HAHAHA! THAT was gay.

Back on topic...

I like the artwork, and yes, it does seem to carry a Japanese vibe to it. Its unique and took ***** to do. I have seen this type of artwork done before across a CF hood on a Honda at HIN, so its not exactly a new idea. I love seeing peoples original ****....even if I wouldn't like it for my own car.

Props.

Thanks everyone for all the comments, good and bad. I knew a lot of people wouldn't like this, and I knew there'd be plenty of "gay" comments, but the work came out just how I envisioned it, so that's what matters most to me.

I promised the artist I wouldn't tell how much I paid, but it's NOT cheap!

The background design was actually inspired by Japanese tattoo art.

You aren't the only person to tell me this, so I just may have to look into it!

Since you already started it, maybe you should carry the theme to the inside and paint the rear strut brace Z cover to match.. but don't go overboard..

--mike
Thank you. And I have been thinking of doing something on the strut brace cover already, just haven't decided what to do, but I've got an idea up my sleeve. Whether or not it materializes remains to be seen!

I haven't seen that car, if it's been done. But my car is certainly not the first to have cherry blossoms, so wouldn't surprise me if it has been done. My inspiration, years back, were the Veilside cars with the cherry blossoms...

Exactly. In Japan, cherry blossoms represent the transient nature of life. The blossoms only last a short time, and basically are symbolic of life being short but beautiful, so make the most of it.
