I don't think it's ugly. If anything this makes your drone look like a tool instead of a toy which is sort of what I was going for myself. I'm less interested in having say, an angry looking skull and decals that say "THE DESTROYER" than a utilitarian look that says this is a serious piece of equipment that is probably operated by a professional so you should probably pay him what he is asking if you're a client or leave him alone if you're not.
I had this in mind for relectivity but I planned to put two rings around each arm near the propeller and I would find somewhere on the top and bottom to put a one or two inch strip. I plan for my Drone to be mostly white so I think it would blend in well.

I don't expect to fly at night but I do think that if I'm flying later in the day I would be worried about losing the sun unintentionally and for that I was considering purchasing this. Its the led mounts and obviously I would get the lights too. I was thinking two red strobes and mounts for each of the front arms so if I ever crash the strobes it would be easier to locate and if I lose track of time and end up flying home in the dark I can always just rotate my drone until I see the red lights flashing in the distance and then I'll know its pointed at me and I can guide it back that way. Really I just need one for that but it just feels more symmetrical with two.
