what i would suggest would be complex and time consuming as well as expensive....but it would be very cool.....but aside from that and on a more affordable note, i think you have a lot of nice wide areas on there to fill in with some pinstriping, mainly some nice pinstripe tiki imagery... keeping to a modern jet set theme you could make a nice tiki fender ornament by taking a cocojoes tiki of your choice and having it chrome electroplated (like the chrome parts in a model kit) and mounting it to the fender through the underside.....maybe do the same thing with the mirrors....take the shallow lids off the plastic coconut cups (like the ones they sell at the party store), have those electroplated as well and mount them to the backside of your mirrors so that it looks like your mirrors are 2 chrome coconut halves...you may even be able to use the pre existing straw hole in the lid to run the mirror stem through...and finally, create and cast some bamboo half rounds in a resin or urethane (must be flat on the underside)which can also be chrome electroplated and mount these on the floorboard for some nice chrome bamboo runners..i think you can fit 3 per side or so on that scoot.....now it's tikified and still retains a certain modern and updated integrity....
