You'd get a few looks though
Especially with secret wrap covered aeromods
You may end up on the internets as the new ... 2021 whatever

Whatever’s necessary to standout AND attract the attention of law enforcement.
Got it.
(Don’t forget any downside).

I've owned the car more than 5 years, only been pulled over once (3 years ago in Kansas, where a driver's exterior mirror is required), and never gotten a ticket. I'll take my chances.

Well, I'm driving around now with no mirrors, shiny aluminum tape on the front and rear bumpers and spoiler, a chrome roof, a giant windshield banner, and fake sponsor decals down the front doors, so--yes?
I appreciate your concern, but really, I'll be fine.

Others react differently to an unusual look. And insurance premiums aren’t what I’d be willing to taunt. Thus the question about downside.
So, as you see it — as you’re halfway there — why not go all the way?
What reaction from others are you expecting? Thumbs up? (Serious Q)
Let us know what you find once applied.

Prototype camo is a very specific look, and I understand what your going for.
Personally, I go to dazzle camo.

Would the police still see you and could you sue if they rear-ended you?

Every look invites reaction. When I was driving around in a bright red Viper with white racing stripes, that got certain reactions (speaking of police-- that's the sort of car that really attracts their attention). If I was driving around in a jacked up pickup with mudders and a bull bar, that would get a different reaction. Cars wrapped in prototype camo aren't unknown, they're just not common, so I expect I'll inspire a lot of confusion. We'll see!
