Need some help from the fashion police :)

OK... I love everything about this jacket except the decoration on the back...

• Five section removable armor for back, shoulders and elbows. Shoulder and elbow pieces of armor are made of injection molded plastic/hard padded with foam for comfort fit. Back piece is made of double density EVA. Standard armor jacket's don't even come close to this armor system.
• Made of 1.2mm Cow Hide Leather.
• Ideal for both cold and warm weathers. It is fitted with two liners. First liner is fixed mesh liner. Second liner is zip out/removable full sleeve, quilted, insulated liner.
• Strong YKK zippers in front, sleeves and ventilations.
• Dual 8" and 360 degree pant attachment zip.
• Waist adjustment using side laces.
• Jacket also features sleeve zippers and snap on buttons.

USD$135 shipped. The armor is good, love the checkered flag sides and the laces for adjustment... but are the bolts too much?

its a great functional modern race jacket with a retro look but it looks too new for my taste...
Im not crazy about the lightning in the back either...

Mabe attack it with some 80 grit sandpaper and throw some patches on it and paint some design on the back, just like in the 50's.

I'm not surprised, 80s stuff is becoming collectable now. But as they say, if you remember it the first time, you're too old for the second time.
