It's not a bad marketing idea, and it was certainly well executed, but I'm not sure I could ever buy an aircraft that had a voodoo glow skull attached to it.
It's just me, right?
Our friend John Bouyea works for FlightPrep, who has a booth at Oshkosh every year, and always bemoans the fact that he never has a chance to see any part of the show that doesn't involve the immediate environs of whatever hangar he's stuck in.
John loves airplanes, and it must be absolute torture to be stuck so close to nirvana and not be able to go take part. He's building a KR-2 and is incredibly knowledgable about everything aviation.
My nefarious plot was to take a whole bunch of pictures of incredibly boring Cessna 172's, and then take them by the FlightPrep booth and regale him with "Oooh, look at those wheelpants, that must be custom paint", and "take a look at the upholstery in that one..."

Kasperwing
The Kasperwing has an interesting history, It has a bit of a write up in the latest Sport Aviation (August 2006). Worth reading in to.
Piper Cub, NC88422 (N88422)
It looks like they cut the cub logo out of the original fabric, and kept putting it on successive covering jobs.
Czech Aircraft Works Mermaid
You can see the look of avarice in Travis' eyes.
Everyone really liked this little amphibian. I don't believe it's a homebuilt, I get the impression from their website that it's a production plane.
Aviation Technology Group (ATG) Javelin, N104TG
"Extreme Business Jet", so I assume it's a production aircraft. They are in the middle of flight testing.
