Love the pit stripes, Looking to do the same on mine to break the front up some - just curious though why you didn't take the stripes all the way down the fender? (Don't they come long enough to run the full length right to the edge of the wheel well - just curious)

Yellow seems to be a good off-color for silver/greys, have seen it done on a few cars and yours is another +1 to job well done with it!

There were two reasons, the first being that these are pretty wide stripes and running them all the way down was WAY too much stripe, it looked too heavy and didn't mesh well. the second reason was that because the stripes were so wide the deflection of going from the fender to the arch was very pronounced and the stripe didn't want to lay flat and had to be stretched and pulled and the edges lost their crisp lines.
