OP, just do what you want with the US flag. If you have to ask if it's offensive, I think you already know the answer. Some folks will like it; some might want to kick your azz. Even if done with the best intentions as you say, no one knows that. If I see a US flag used for something other than it's intended purpose, I think someone is trying to make a statement. But if you drive a Mini Cooper, it's okay. :yes:
