Putting cartoon pictures straight out of book comic/tv show doesn't seem to match real cars.

They just simply print out oversized stickers and stick on the car.

The FInal Fantasy R8 & Porsche seems decent but the rest just makes the cars look messy. Too much stickers can spoil the look if not done properly. Car stickers should be simple & specifically designed to suit the car's design & color, not just print & stick.

Your's quite OK, Black outline vs red blood matches your body color & bumper, the character stands out since it's not messy with so many stickers.

But, may i suggest you don't put full body of the character, instead zoom it so it covers like his face or half the body and have him tilt abit, with the blood spill bigger so the character takes 1 door while the blood flow takes the other door. This way you can blend the sticker into car more naturally the sticker looks like part of the car instead of looking like a Car with Stickers.

The side of the front you can also put some smaller stickers, and you can put the big chainsaw at the front of the engine cover.

Still much better than the typical Japanese stick all sticker you can on the car types.

Or you can copy some Zero to Hundred Myvis, they put alot of black Zero to Hundred logo of different size across the white body so they look more like a patterned car instead of stickers. Something like camo just it stands out instead of blending in to environment.

What is that car, why you opt Pikachu over Neo?

Just add eyes, red chick spot, mouth and some decals on the rear to make it look like tail will be good enough.

Yes, EXACTLY like this, the wheels are cool, just skip the Pokemon logo, spoils the whole view.

Any chance can find another S600 Coupe? You imported or buy from local owners? Hehe.

Honda S600 Coupe, 1800 pieces in the world, while the Proton depreciates and further reliability problems such as broken ABS and gearbox haunt me, better to swap it to a car that has appreciating value, lol

Do you mean like this?
