I had my all-white Vanagon painted just below the windows on the drivers'
side with a mural of a strong warrior holding aloft a glowing sword.  A
lightning bolt strikes down onto the sword while a scantily-clad nubile
boy-toy clings to the warrior's right leg.

It's very tasteful.  You might consider something like this.
