Awful trunk extension

Anyone else think this is just the ugliest thing ever? It doesn't even follow the lines of the bike.

I can see what they were attempting, but they failed miserably.
Lines are all wrong as well as paint.

I know the actual trunk has an upward sweep to on on the bottom, and that was the line they decided to follow instead of the side bag.
If they had it just follow the line of the side bag, there would have been a gap that would look odd, but you could add a little "hump" right under the trunk to hide the gap.

A good initial test, but not a final roll out by any means.
Not that I would put that big ole' badonkadonk on my bike even in a finished form.
I would do a trailer instead.

It looks to be photoshopped in. The shadows on the ground do not match extensions.
