I must say, I was disappointed.

Looks like she just came out of a 'pimp yo ride' TV show. :(

Are the wheels on hydraulics so they can 'pop' it down the runway for takeoff?

Wow, really?

I know, its the owners choice and taste, but, really?

There should be a nose art voting committee to approve art. Some of the nose art out there could really use a revision to more correct or less tacky.

Just my crazy thoughts!

yah.., it is pretty bad. Does not go with the bird at all.., belongs on the hood of a metallic purple Impala!

just my opinion and does not reflect the opinion of this network or it's sponsors.

OOooo, ooooo! Can I be on that committee? ;) :lol:

It's very well done, but yeah, it's definitely got that Daytona Beach Tshirt Stand quality about it. :lol:

Since this is an On-Mark Marketeer executive version the colors below minus the Star/bar would be an appropriate color scheme then..?

Hmmm, I was disapointed too, I was expecting something more "old school"... Does give it a pimped look...

Cannot say I am a fan, even if the artwork is well done.

Long nose, tip tanks, rectangular waist windows. Peanut Gallery, correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't those elements of On Mark executive mods?

Nice tip tanks! :shock: The art would go well displayed alongside my "Velvet Elvis", but I figure if gaudy artwork
is the price to pay to get a grounded bird with a broke wing fixed, then so be it! :wink: Paint ain't forever... 8)

Well I know that it's executive mod, but what purpose does the longer nose serve?? Has it been telling lies?? :wink:
