Prototype camo wrap: yea or nay?

I had a thought last evening: Since I've been changing the look of my car pretty much yearly for the past couple years, maybe I'll keep that up. Then I thought perhaps it would be fun, since my car is a test-bed for various aerodynamic devices, to wrap it in the same dazzle camouflage vinyl that manufacturers use and see how many people I can confuse in my travels. This look:







...which I can recreate using this vinyl wrap, which is identical to the wrap that some manufacturers use for late-stage testing when a car is close to production.

To complete the look, I would remove all manufacturer badging, my school license plate frame, windshield banner, and all decals (sorry, Ecomodder, that includes your sticker too!), and replace my vanity "OPEC LOL" plates with standard random-number plates.

Now's your chance to weigh in! (I'll almost definitely do this, but I'm curious what people here think about it).
