Added White Sport Stripes To Our All Black Countryman (Pics Inside)
I wrestled with this decision for a month...but today I finally took the plunge and had white sport stripes put on our Countryman.
It was a beautiful 65 degree day here in Dallas so I got out and took a few pics:

Re: Dealer or After Market...?
I had them installed by a Vehicle Lettering/Sign Shop called "New Graphics Inc." here in Dallas for $150 all cash (no tax). Come to find out they are the same company that owns Cooper Flags...so they are very familiar with doing custom Mini stuff. Took 2 hours flat to complete the install.
My original quote was for $200 but that was if I got the roof done too. Since I've got double sunroofs I decided not to do the roof, so hence the $50 price reduction.
The dealer wanted $990 for installation including roof...$700 without the roof. Hope this helps.
So by going with factory stripes and an aftermarket installer, in the end my total cost for materials and labor was $400.

![Question](https://www.northamericanmotoring.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Polojankins, I have a couple of questions, I hope you don't mind.
I also live in the North Texas area and was wondering where you bought your Countryman. Mini of Dallas and Moritz in Arlington seems to be the only game in town. I was wondering if you had a good buying experience? Also, I thought it was the law in Texas that you have to have both a front and back license plate, but the mini's I see around town only have a back? Thanks for your help. Also, anybody who lives in the North Texas area and might have some thoughts to share about their experiences with the local dealers, I would appreciate it.

Regarding the front license plate thing...yes, it is a law here in Texas that you must have a front and rear license plate. However, if you look at most Luxury/Sports/High End Cars in the area, a large percentage of them don't have front plates. Its just a personal choice that people make. But you CAN and occasionally WILL get a ticket for it. (I got one in 2010...and it cost me $130 and my wife got a ticket two years ago) But I still am not going to put a front plate on...mainly because I don't like the look...but also because it does not take points off your license or cause your insurance to go up if you do get a ticket.
