Thanks!!! It's really not my idea though. Red bordering Black on a Silver car is probably the most classic color combo going back nearly a century. You'll find it on everything from Bentleys to Zondas Heck, even Foose uses the red highlight on his black stripes. (Gotta love that Zonda eh!!! )

It's the color scheme I'm currently using as well, though the new pattern will simplify it and make everything more streamlined and clean. Oh, and I'm slightly changing the look of my side-stripe also!!

Can't wait to put on the new look... but I'll wait until April probably.

Haha... that would be nice. But, I'm still not done vectoring the measurements for the new side-stripes. They've got to be just right...

After running a couple of full-scale vector mockups, it turns out that I will be making the red highlight stripes 1.5" wide instead of just an inch. The gap from the large carbon-fiber stripe will be reduced to .25" instead of .5". So the total width, from red to red will be 27.5" which will line them up just about dead center with my fog lights.

Why am I posting this? Just mumbling to myself, and talking out my options...
