Otherwise u just have a car that is unique... just like everyone else.
Alright, well it all really comes down to this question:
What kind of customers does he want to attract and what type of reputation does he want?

Does he want to attract tuners who care about performance and looks, or does he want drivers who just care about looks only? The thing is, typically the people who want body kits are also teenagers or college students... do the majority of those kids have money to spend at his business? No. However, real tuners are willing to shell out some cash for a good product, whereas the typical teenager will turn to eBay.

Also, if he has a good reputation among real tuners, he will attract those kind of customers (the ones who spend real money). If the advertisement car portrays the business as being a teenager oriented company, then those tuners with money will be drawn away. Also, since it's a detailing business (i'm assuming you mean like cleaning and waxing and basically making the car look nice and clean and new), you'll want to attract adults too, and if your advertisements are all flashy and ricerish, mature adults will be driven away from the business.

Trust has a really good point. Look at the good folks over and Honda-Tech (They might be douchenozzles, but their cars are amazing) and JDMCivic. Do you think those parts are cheap? Real tuners are willing to shell out thousands upon thousands of dollars for parts because they know the parts are good. Ricers are willing to spend as little as possible for below-par products. If I were a business owner, I'd be more concerned about attracting the audience with the deeper pockets

You guys have right at this point...The customers that i want to attract are those with deep pockets...BTW my shop it will be located in the same room with a mechanic for Ferrari, Lamborghini etc etc and most of them will be my customers too...So the idea for a JDM car is better in this case,but in the future i am going to make it a show car and use it for advertising in every car show it is possible....Customers are customers, and so i would like to have as big range of them as possible....

yea, eventually it would be ideal to have some of each for advertising.
I think the best place to start is with the clean cars, especially since you'll be right next to mechanics of some of the sexiest looking cars ever made.

Unfortunately in Cyprus we don't have such great painters to do a perfect custom paint job...They hardly spray the standard paint on a car.... : )
Now it is painted with the Nighthawk Black Pearl with an addition of some green flakes on it
