just thought I would post an image i've been working on for a while. i also sent this off to the guys at cooperflags to see what they thought. It think it would also look good as a set of ghost flames but I've really started to get attached to the blood red color. Enjoy

glad you liked it superchrgdmini, not to worry, your mini already looks mean as hell, us silver guys have to catchup by adding a little spice.

Hi Rfibanez,

I wished I worked for mini. Just a freelance photographer/graphic designer/web designer, but just incase you know someone at mini, tell them to give me a call. Glad you guys liked the pics, matt emailed me and told me they were working on a simialar set for install this weekend. Can't waint to see what it looks like. Glad you all like the image.

Hey bmarvin81,
You are awesome with the graphic designs...I wish I could do that since I'm trying to figure out what a CB/CB MC would look like with Frost Driver's Edge Racing Stripes before I place the order with Matt. But I'm stuck with using my imagination...

I think your design will look great...Good luck, and I'll look for your pics up on cooperflags.com in the future!

Aloha from Hawaii!

bmarvin81,
WOW, that would be great if you could do that for me!

If you take a look at the cooperflags.com photo gallery's stripe section, I'm looking at frost stripes as shown in picture #3 in the Driver's Edge Style in picture # 6. So should I decide to get put on these stripes, my Cosmos Black/Cosmos Black MC will have 2 Frost (kind of silver looking) Stripes, one fat and one skinny running down the driver's side of my MC on bonnet/roof/boot.

But, please don't go out of your way to do this for me....I'm sure your time is very precious. I really appreciate this offer even if you are unable to "throw something together" for me.

Mahalo from Hawaii!!!!

Here they are - made up fresh this weekend. The first 5 sets will go for $40/each plus shipping. One catch; You HAVE to send back pictures of them installed. Available colors are White, Black, Metalic Silver, Metalic Gold, Red, Blue, or Frost.

Blake (bmarvin81),
I was going to send you a PM to thank you...but I'd might as well do it on this thread. You are the best!!!! Thank you so much. It really helps to see what I'm thinking of doing....my imagination can only go so far! I really appreciate it, and hope to be able to help you (or others) in the future as well.

Thanks again!

ArqAngel,
First of all...great choice! :smile: I posted a thread a couple of weeks ago asking if anyone had pictures, and I was starting to think no one else wanted Driver's Edge in Frost...thanks for your posting. Do you have any pics from the front view? I'm curious to see what it looks like from the front, too. If not, that's ok...Blake's digital image and your pic sold me on the idea!

Thanks to the both of you!!!

Mahalo from Hawaii!

Ms. Keiki

-Matt

The flames look great. I'll call you in the morning to order a set. In regards to the colors, will the red ones be a plain red or is there any chance of metallic candy apple effect? Either way the frost would look really nice. Do the flames start at the edge of the bonnet or the top of the hoodscoop like the pic I posted? Hope all is well, thanks for all the hard work

Blake

bmarvin - I have just waht you are looking for. It's similar to the Frost material that we have only it's Red. It also comes in a light blue that I think would look great on a PS. Any takers willing to try this out?

[I'd be interested in the light blue frost versions you were willing to guinea-pig!]
