Where did you get the hood stripes? I've been searching for some black stripes with red borders like that but haven't had any luck.

Here's mine, just installed the coilovers and rear lower control arms. For now I've got the LCA's set to max positive camber which has them very very close to zero. Once the suspension settles I'll get an alignment and probably do -1.5 in the front and -1.0 in the rear. Once it settles I might lower it a tiny bit more in the rear.

These are the second set of stripes I've had. The first set was from Aesthetic Creations where the red pins where part of the whole stripe. As they aged I needed to replace them and AC was no longer doing this.

The stripes in the photo are from http://www.mightystripes.com/

The base stripes are silver and then the kit came with red pinstripes that are applied on top of the silver stripes. I had a place close to me install them as I know I would make a mess of things

They are holding up very well and can highly recommend the quality.

Alright, here is Otis, my pride and joy 2004 R50.



The only mods I have thought about recently would be:

1. Enkei RPF1 Wheels (have Konig Feathers now)
2. M7 C-Wing (but have a carbon fiber duckbill on it now)

Other than that, pretty much set up the way I want it, minus some brake work which is coming soon
