I think luxury automobiles of this one's caliber (before the price drop) should remain tastefully understated. The red wing is a bit much. It doesn't match anything. The whale tale shouldn't be highlighted. It should blend seamlessly into the vehicle. Also, there is nothing more tacky than putting cheap, auto part store chrome tape around anything, especially the wheel wells (and only the rears at that)!!! That is one major rule of thumb that most designers and professional customizers would agree with. Never, ever, ever put chrome tape on anything! Not on door seems, not on trunk seems, not on hood seems, and not on wheel wells!

Dude, I'm glad you are happy with your car, but right now it looks jumbled, and mis matched. I'm not trying to be a jerk, or put you down. Honestly, I'm only giving you my honest opinion. I mean, come on, have you ever seen a car running around with stick on crap and chrome tape and said, "Wow, that looks awesome!" Try to think of it this way, have you ever seen a Ferrari, Lambo, or other high caliber vehicle with chrome tape affixed? If it's not good enough for those cars, don't put it on yours, even if it were a Civic.

Just an honest opinion from a mutual car enthusiast.
