Just cause I'm still logged in, I'll reply right away.
First, I would like to use some sort of bright paint job. Safety green is a bit conspicuous but maybe a nice 70's blue or lime green.

It would also need ample reflectors- probably the kind that look black until you shine a light on them- over the "painted black" areas.
Last, I would have LED running lamps. It might be good to make them flash like some motorcycle headlamps, and since it will be registered as such, that would be legal. Not sure how to go about putting together the lighting- do you know of any good threads?
