There are tons of real world examples of this stuff for those saying its not "realistic"
Now, maybe those are show planes or "mascot planes" like the blue angels, but who's to say we shouldn't let people customize their vehicles to be like that in Planetside? I want to have a blue angel plane. Whats wrong with a squadron deciding they wanted to be the screaming zebras or the wailing walruses.
Customization isn't 100% freeform, we're going to be sure that everything that goes in fits into the world and it doesn't turn into giant mecha-cupcakes shooting lamprey eels at eachother or something.

What Matt said! Like I've said before...you might think it is crazy but it adds a bit of psychological warfare into the game. Constantly getting killed by the out fit with Zebra patterned vehicles with pink head lights? You'll react different when you see them coming at you.
