Default Opinions on Yamaha blue WS6?

What do you think could it be pulled off or would it look cheap. Here's a few pic of my old R1 fairing on the hood. Going to be a huge change from the original navy blue metallic. Let me know what everyone thinks.

I know the car looks like crap at the moment haven't gotten it out in a while or cleaned it but here's a pic when it's clean also for reference.

Thanks

Yea my dad left car of gear and it rolled back about 100 yards and nailed a tree when it was in neutral....that's the only reason I'm thinking about a color change. I can laugh about it now but I was about to cry when it happened. It took out the bumper, hatch cracked the spoiler basically a lot of the rear panels tail lights etc.

Here's my next project after I finish the blue TA. Thinking a ls conversion is in order. Off topic just wanted to share lol. I always loved that blue I am just scared that it will have the ricer look.

Yes, I have loved every TA I've seen that's been painted a bright blue. As for your concern that it looks cheap, as long as you do a good job and do all the jams and bay it will look great, not cheap at all.
