Do it Joe. There is nothing wrong with the Japanese symbol. That is still their current flag and is STILL the symbol on their self-defense aircraft. For anyone that figures it out, it makes sense and is pretty cool.

I can't put my finger on it, but for some reason, I don't see it the same way.

It's light-hearted.

It's a track car, not a DD.

The "enemy" (as noted by the 'kills') is Honda, so it doesn't make sense as a straight up tribute to Japanese Kamikaze.

To me, historically its about as offensive as the Confederate flag on the "General Lee." (remember him?) I know it's not a direct comparison, but it's fairly close.

Joe, if you go with it, I'd move the rising sun straight center on the door and the 2 stripes closer to the door so it runs from roof to rocker.

I was thinking of getting the picture I showed laminated and hang it in the window. Or if I can find a decal, I'll put on the roll bar down tube

Maybe go with the classic Mustang (I think?) airplane shark mouth thing?

Or do something with the stylized Japanese flag if you want to keep it in the family?


seen this on a 240sx and it looked good.
