No vote from me, sorry.
The engine and installation is fantastic, but a car modified to that level should be more subtle, the styling just chavvy max power all day.
While I realise it is a springboard to advertise your business, I think a much deeper dark green metallic would have looked classier.
Before all of SN get on my case I am entitled to an opinion, and I am totally opposed to any chavvy ott styling, but that's just me, don't get your knickers in a twist about it.

It's my opinion pal, get over it.
I just don't like ott styling and ridiculous colours, they are not the only way you can get noticed btw.
^ not aimed at JGM btw

As a relative newbie I wasn't aware if this, I think your original choices were wiser, but as I've already said its a great build and I'm one guy out of loads who adore your car so just enjoy it if your happy that's what's important.

Whilst I would normally agree with the comments about subtlety etc. that is not what this car is about. I presume, aside from being a creat car to fling around a track, it is also designed to get noticed thereby promoting the owner's business and in that regard it scores very highly.

I do find it sometimes a bit too much - people filming it on the motorway whilst I am towing it to events, people taking pictures in petrol stations.. traffic lights when I am driving it on the road need to be avoided if possible as everyone wants to race.
So yes if I was using it on the road more it would be probably be resprayed the same colour as the type R I am working on today - Graphite Grey metallic.. or wrapped in a subtle colour but its not what the car is.
Was amused yesterday by the interest from two guys whose race car was red and itallion..

Voted for you (first), although it was close between your's, that Delica and the orange Supra which I put second & third respectively.
Oh and subtle is nice for road going cars, which I doubt yours does much, top effort
