However, if you wanted to make it look like it had a space-ship hull on it, weld actual metal slugs instead of putting some black line-and-circle decals. Stay with a central theme - try to make it look as much like a TIE fighter or X wing or whatever instead of a hodge-podge of different decals and colours.
If you're gonna do something like that - make it look cool, not like something a child would do to make it look "Star Wars"

I'd rather see something restored, not so boastful in its decoration, and be quietly badass than see something like that which screams "Loser fanboy" at the top of its lungs.Good idea, in other words, but bad implementation.
So, what? You're saying that they should turn a Ford Pinto into a TIE-fighter?

Actually, I think they were going for an A-wing. As I recall (but I may be wrong), that's about where the colors and markings (and guns) were on one of those.

Again? wut?
And I wouldn't say a pinto. I wouldn't sacrifice an old mustang or 'vette muscle car to my Star Wars fetish (which this guy clearly has), but an older moderate car would be cool.

Kinda like how TIE fighters tended to blow up all the time. (Honestly, those things had next to no shields.)
Seriously, just because it doesn't suit your tastes doesn't mean you get to sit there and criticize someone elses hard work. I'm sure each and every one of you have something you enjoy or do that, if you showed it off, you'd probably get treated just like I've been reading in this thread. "omg what a dork" and shit like that. Goddamn. This world is such a shithole because people just immediately jump to conclusions like that.
Take a step back and be fucking objective. The body style of the miata is well suited for an A-Wing replication. The decals match up with an A-Wing quite well. The interior is kick ass on it's own. Instead of saying "I would do this instead of that," how about getting out there and doing it then? Too much sitting on your ass criticizing someone else who got OFF their ass.
I think the car looks great and is an excellent display of someone's love and dedication to their HOBBY. I don't even know about the person who did it, nor will I sit here and judge them.

I would SO drive it!

no shields at all to be precise. Sacrificed shields for speed and mobility.

Which they had none of anyways.
TIE Fighter = A flying tomb.
And Bajah, relax man. Some folks, yes, were saying it was ass on wheels. Some folks thought it was great.
By the "instead of this, do this" comment you made, I assume you were directing a shot my way. If anything, my comment pointed how how much nerdier I am than how horrible I thought the idea was. I thought it was a great idea. I just thought the choice of car could've been cooler.
But use what you have, I suppose.

(highly modified) but not a miata...
No, Really. Bite me.

Those big, ugly fins are solar panels. TIE fighters are solar powered. And TIE fighters are actually extremely fast and maneuverable, it's just that TIE pilots are every bit as good as Stormtroopers.
