As long as it doesn't obsrtuct your vison I think it's a neat idea.

so far the idea is a regular white vinyl mustache, and for the monocle - a transparent white vinyl (if transparent white even exists)

Are you planning on having it airbrushed or are you going the printed vinyl route?

he does airbrush and uses perforated vinyl over an smoked shield for the eyes so you can see out unrestricted, but I would swap in a clear shield or no shield for racing
I was also looking at the Tie Pilot design, He did do a corvette design for a customer, with the Jake logo on the front and Z05 logos on each side and base paint to match the car

That's an awesome idea. The monacle could be distracting, but if you get it semi transparent I bet you'd learn to look through it.

A bucket painted like Jake would be real cool!
