Deja Vu-Like Experience

So here's the weird part... I was thinking about this a couple months back. Basically, take a WWII fighter design motif and apply it as a paint job to a car. I was even thinking about using a Ford Mustang like in the article, except I envisioned it being more metallic silver (shinier) like the fighter.

I also considered the Bf-109 and considered painting the "nose" of the car yellow, just like in the article. Although I think a camouflage pattern would be cooler.

What got me thinking about this was the Dodge Charger which, in my mind, has a body that kinda looks like the Bf-109. So I thought, hey, why not paint it like a Bf-109. That'd be cool and definitely different.

I'm weirded out that apparently I'm not the only one thinking about this!

i've thought about doing something similar, but with a new Jeep. paint it up olive drab, markings, etc. make it look like a WWII one.

Don't do it the way that guy did. The car in the photo looks like a grey mustang that had an accident, and so the guy swapped a yellow front end for it, but he can't affort to re-paint the front end grey. Without any additional features to indicate that he is trying to imitate a P-51, it just looks like a teenager's frankencar.

I could have sworn that I've seen another thread on this recently.
