OK, so I am doing a rally at the end of May and I was thinking of a theme for my car and decided I'm going to need to convert my '81 Datsun 280Z into a moving memorial to Firefly.

So I think I'm going to see if I can get the "Serenity" decal and convert it to "Sereni-Z" and then paint the car in the many shades of gray panels like the real "Serenity". Beyond that, what should I do to the car to complete the theme.

Me and a fellow browncoat must proudly represent our BDH's.

Heh, you gotta find a way to make the rear end glow. Quite the trick, I know, but an absolute necessity. Phosphorescent paint, anyone?

full throttle activated rear neon lights under the bumper and LED's on the hatch?

Just make sure you do one thing- take pictures.

And hey, maybe you can Reaver it! You might get some stares with streaks of red and bodies on the hood, though.

You'll need to replace the steering wheel too, with a Serenity-style one.

Does the 280Z have a boot-release (sorry - "trunk" for Americans ;) ) catch? A big load of orange lighting in the trunk, and then flip the lid for that full-on "moon" :)

Find that kid takin a dirt nap with the baby Jesus...you're going to need a hood ornament.

Oh and maybe a few handpainted flowers under the hood (it is the Engine Room).

Maybe some kinda spotlights through the back window (though that might be considered a hazard if there's gonna be other racers behind you).

Oh, and don't forget to take pictures!

Sequential lights around the middle somewhere to represent "the spinny part" and maybe a small gun with a mini-Mal behind it?

It HAS to have a fall-offable primary buffer pannel...

And "THREE MAGIC SWITCHES" somewhere on the dash!

Hang a fancy red girls bike on one side and a regular bike on the other (shuttles).

If there's a way to do it safely, how about fastening down a dinosaur and a palm tree atop the dashboard?
