I think it looks great! I like the tiny pin stripes on the edges.

I still haven't got mine back yet from the shop. Had hail damage repaired and am painting dark grey stripes, new trunk with no spoiler, hood pins and the whole car clearcoated to make it glass smooth.

They were supposed to get the stripes done this week, so hopefully next weekend I will have her back

Stripes are vinyl, local shop did it, cost 390.00. Wanted to see how they looked before I had them painted. My best friend works at a chrysler dealership in the body shop and he said he would paint them on for me for just the cost of the paint. Maybe in a year or two when the vinyl starts getting nasty, I will have him paint them on. Thanks for all the replies.

He did a really good job, only a few small bubbles. Took him 6 hours to do it all, had problems with the bumpers. He told me they used to tell him to tell his customers to was over the vinyl, but now are telling him to wax up to the stripes, but not actually on the vinyl ?????? Are you waxing over your ??? I think a good coat of wax over the vinyl would help protect them. Thanks.
