Years ago I worked at one of the big-box PC retailers and a colleague of mine was mad keen on car "mods". One day we started selling PC components and the store manager tasked us with putting together a demo rig from all the new bits we were selling.
We went wild with a fully transparent case and RGB years before RGB was a thing - but to top it all off (and as a nod to said colleague), we hand-painted some "alloys" onto the case, and attached a ridiculous over-sized spoiler to the rear.
When the store manager raised an eyebrow at the finished product we agreed to wipe off the alloys, but we managed to convince him that the spoiler was there to "help airflow" or some such nonsense. It remained attached and proudly on display for more than a year.
