My only gripe with this peice is the orientation of the stripes. From a visual perspective, I don't like it when stripes are perpendicular to each other on the same car. Meaning, you have a hood stripe that runs parallel to the car, and then the bumblebee stripe that runs horizontal. It creates a visual 'T' and it drives me crazy. IMO, a performance car should always look like it's in motion, even when it's sitting still. When you start crossing stripes like that it takes away from the flow, and my eye focuses around the C-pillar rather than the overall stance of the car.

Interesting point, I've never looked at it that way. Went back and looked at the pictures again and don't see it taking away from the the car (to me), but a new perspective I haven't looked at cars from.

It's art, guys. Art that we drive. Sometimes it won't make sense to everyone. But I think we can all appreciate the effort it takes to create it.

Very true.
