Should I get a skull and crossbone painted on hood
 
My neighbor is Lanar Trepiccio, the guy that did all the paint jobs for pimp my ride on MTV. He showed me a skull and cross bone he did for some rap artist named Chris Brown. (I listen to the Stones) Anyway, I immediatly fell in love with it. I think it would add some personal flair. What you guys/gals think?

You asked......i would never do it.......

But be prepared for 100 posts coming, saying "its your car, do what you like"......

Hood liner, fine. External hood surface, no way. But, that's just my opinion.

I want to do something to make it stand out. I was airborne infantry in Bosnia, what about some realistic bulletholes on the doors. This guy is amazing, he can make it look just like the real thing.

Jake with some stripes is acceptable and can even make your car more sell-able in the future. A skull and crossbones will probably run potential buyers to the next car on their list.

I'm even thinking of adding hood stripes with a Jake near the w/s.

What's a jake?

I would not. Up to you. It just screams "No Class".

It would be easier to give you an honest opinion if you had some pictures of his work to post and what the hood would look like.

Well, how about a tribute to Airborne Infantry? Here's a recent tribute to the Air Force Thunderbirds:

I'd suggest doing it with a wrap so it can be easily "undone" when you want to sell.

You asked so I'll chime in. It's a really, really bad idea.
