Default Parent's 2010

Mom and dad bought their 2010 after me....and they had to get the same color as my wife and mine 09. So I convinced them they needed stripes. What do you all think? The strips are vinyl.

I can't tell if it's distortion in the pictures but the ends on the front of the hood don't look like it follows the line of the hood. The back end doesn't look like it follows around the faux gas cap evenly.

Looks pretty good. I might have gotten them thicker but they're not bad. I like blue on silver

Are they happy with the result? That's all that matters!

If that's a "miscut" then I would definately bring it back and have it done right. If it's an IPhone photo then it's worse than the picture. They paid for it... get it done right.
I'm not trying to be an *** because I like the Blue on Silver look but it can look a whole lot better if it's done right.

I would get wider stripes - i think it's little thin. That's just me though. Maybe something like this...
