The colors don't have enough contrast and the whole thing looks pretty dated.
It would have been nice to see you integrate the design more into the contours of the car. It honestly looks like someone sprayed a bad graffiti job on a nice car.
Just my 2 cents.
I'm still trying to figure out what is going on with the doors of the truck behind it …

Well it's garish, and I don't doubt that's what you and the client are going for.
BUT
<philosophical>Just because you can type quickly doesn't mean you should write a novel.</philosophical>
Someone somewhere might like this, but it looks like the result of plug-in play, as opposed to carefully orchestrated design. The mix of styles doesn't serve it well. The brick wall texture looks out of place on the body lines of a presumably fast car, and the graffiti looks much too electronically generated to convincingly suggest spray paint. Then, the smooth, flowing chart music follows out of nowhere and would look great on its own, but it's a fish out of water here. Too much going on. No color harmony. No logic. Makes the car look worse instead of better.

Ah, now that I look closely I can see that there is a car between the 2nd car and the truck … I figured them to be the Lamborghini style doors, but somehow they looked as if they were on the truck … which Was … well … hard to picture.

It's not what I'd put on a vette, but I'd probably never buy a vette either.
The bricks will not look straight when applied as the lines will follow the contours of the car. Seeing as this looks like a full wrap, I'd be concerned with how the bricks line up between the quarter panels, hood & front fascia, my guess is that it won't look pretty.
The Z might work better if it played of the wheel arch. Making the O's decrease in size incrementally would help create direction so it doesn't look so static. I'd also consider bringing some of those loud colours to the front and rear of the car to help tie it all together.
Isn't Zoom a Mazda thing?

It looks like a good way to destroy a car. Everything looks really dated and unprofessional. What on earth are the bricks doing there? The text is hard to read and colours being used is stabbing my eyes…

I would recommend the client hire a professional designer.

Your graphics truck has lambo doors?
Pan, this is the "look" of the current car wrap industry in a lot of places. If you've ever seen the catalogs that sell the supplies, they drip this look. I'm not saying it isn't eye-piercing, just that from what I've seen, this is really pretty tame. I kinda doubt though that the screaming blue and green "pop"art will actually print that vividly. That blue is going to be plenty hard to hit. I don't see this being done as cut vinyl so the colors will be more subdued. I suspect this was conceived in RGB and hasn't yet been converted.
Post a pic of the finished piece.
