Where'd you get the frost stripes?

I wonder how'd they look on a red one?

I bought an after market black checkmate hood stripe and painted the hood scoop to match (also upgraded my hood scoop to the slightly larger M7 air scoop)

You can check my gallery (and my sig) for some other stripe ideas. I think I show my husband's car in my gallery too.

I just discovered this is the only pic I have that shows even a portion of my stripes. Oh well, guess that means I'm spending more time driving than snapping...



I had the dealership remove the stripes when I first bought the vehicle. I decided later that I wanted them back on, and they installed them for free. That's service.

I'm going more and more sure about letting Dr Evil go nekkid on his boot. That look really was sweet, I think.





This is the only pic I have of the boot w/stripes. Yeah... I'm pretty sure I'm taking them off.

Only prob with letting Dr. Evil go bare azzed... cabrio boots (as I'm sure you've noticed by now) get horrifically swirly... at least the stripes break that up a bit... without, you're gonna be looking for that perfect shine all the time... and you're gonna be polishing every other weekend, until you hit primer...

Blimey's butt is stripe-less... but he has lots of "flair" back there to break things up,


and CoolBlue hides swirls a zillion times better than JB...
