Default Stripes

I don't mean to start another stripes thread but I went down to a paint shop today and they quoted me 350 to put racing stripes on the hood, roof, and trunk and another 150 to add the bumpers, 500 for both, which is not bad. I am just wondering if there is anyone out there with pics of cars with racing stripes on everything but the bumpers.

Any opinions would also help......Thanks

IMO it doesn't look complete without it all the way to the end.

But jakecat's looks pretty damn good.

thanks for the compliment! I am seriously considering new stripes and taking them down the bumper, but I want to wait till I decide on some other mods first. New stripes will be last, IF I decide to change them.

Don't have pictures for ya but I am also of the belief that going all the way down to the bumpers looks 100 times better even though just the hood roof and rear looks good too I just think going to the bumpers looks better

I'm paying $850 for my painted stripes all the way...looks naked without the bumpers done. But that $850 also includes fixing a ding in my door and repainting the door

i like the look all the way down but i didnt get em. i put mine on myself and its not that hard. i guess thats why 500 seems a little steep for me.
