I like these from Aesthetic Creations on the Astro Black. Just on the bonnet though, don't love it down the grill.



or these, not necessarily CF, but silver Shelby is cool.

My first post with pictures....

 

Nice, love those stripes. Hard to see but are they matte?

Both look great! Aesthetic Creations has a really good selection of stripes. I'll probably get mine from them.

Did you apply them yourself? If so, was it difficult?

 

Right, they are matte, as in not glossy. They actually had to replace the stripes as the valve to keep the windshield washer spray was missing? the fluid dripped over the strip and left a stain.

mental note, don't let washer fluid sit idle on the hood or stripe...

 

I think thats been my fave color combo i have seen

 

I don't have the stripes on my '11 yet. I'm having Aesthetic Creations put them on at the Dragon. I did the pinstripes on my '06 and some other graphics. It wasn't difficult, just time consuming as I wanted them to be perfect. There are quite a few people who do their own, and if I still had my '06 my plan was to remove the old stripes and put some new ones on myself, but alas it wasn't to be. If Mike wasn't going to be at the Dragon, I'd just do them myself.

got "DOC" some new shoes........

 

i dont like how you see the vinyl go under the car

nice jcw

 

Just picked mine up yesterday. Here's a couple of pics -- one still in the showroom and one at home.

Maybe I'm different than most here, but I don't have any mods planned. I like it just the way I ordered it. Maybe that will change, who knows?

 

that will change.. dont worry

 

I can't speak to the CF hood scoop... but wrt the vinyl; it depends. If they are the factory bonnet stripes I wouldn't wax them... because they are "printed" vinyl. I had factory bonnet stripes for about 6 months, before a hail storm came through & caused enough damage that required the hood to be repainted. Afterwards, I had some custom "Cut Vinyl" installed by Todd Pearson (www.toddsmods.com), of WhiteRoofRadio fame.

He explained to me, that the printed vinyl doesn't take to being waxed because it will break down the thin ink, used to give you the pattern/colors you paid for, and you'll either wax it right off... or smear the poo out of it. His method of using the "Cut Vinyl" (for solid color stripes) is much more durable, because the vinyl IS the color you see; therefore, no chance of bleeding it down. He actually recommended that I wax the vinyl (with a good carnuba) to help it last.

(now, whether its just a good way for him to get repeat business or not... I'm not 100% sure. But one things for sure, I don't have to worry about the ink chipping, flaking, or smearing off of my stripes!)

Went from this:

Thump, I feel your climate pain! Moved out west for a few years (Vegas x 2/Tucson x 1) and much prefer our wet heat here in the South. Sweet wheels! Actually I dig the whole look. Good job.

 

Those stripes are badass!, Nice job...very unique Yeah, I taped off my stripes and other vinyl because I was unsure. I don't have any flaking or paint coming off as of yet, but I'll look out for that. Probably get some upgraded stripes like you did down the line.

 

The new stripes are some of the most unique I've seen, looks real good!

 

That looks great it's amazing the difference it makes.

 

they give the car a whole new attitude

 

I was getting a little worried as Todd was installing them. The silver was darker than I wanted. BUT... once I got Branwen out in the sun; I was SOLD!


(and the fact that they are Metallic Silver... makes them even that much more chill)

 

 

nice background and even better mini
