There's 2 "sets" of stripes... because they weren't sure what way to go with the "start" of the strips

I stopped in, and the guy asked me if I did the PS & why not just give him the strips?
I LOL'd, then I LOL'd some more...
Me: "No, I didn't do the PS. A friend on the GPONA (pointed to my hoodie) did it for me."
Him: "Damn, he should work here"
Me: "Ya', better than the 'crayon' image you did hu'?"
Him: "Yeah,... 'head down'..."
Me: "Send me that fine, I'll see what he can do with it"

Needless to say, he was floored!

I hope this turns out well for you, Billy, seems like a great idea!! I admire you for being the guinea pig on this one! So what would the after-care regimen be? Is there some sort of curing period where you can't wash your car for a week or so? kinda off topic, but i dunno anything about striping a car.....

I'd be fine the next day as far as washing the car
IIRC the vinyl is 8 year warranty

Thanks Blackwood!
Any of the photos on this link, or any one from my MySpace or a search here would be fine
If you need a special angle, just let me know. I'll snap & post ASAP
Of the rear, the stripes end 1/2" above the rev light, pin-striped
Stripe wraps spoiler & 3rd brake light will be removed while striped then reset.

Let me know if you have any questions.
Again, THANKS!

They may not look exactly like this because of the distorting I have to do to match the picture, but it should be close.

Wow Sweet!
I like the 1st one much better as well

The top stripes won't be there, those go on the rear

THANKS!!!

Was that a good file to work with, btw?

Well, I have to hold off a bit, need rims & tires more than I need stripes...

Hope the price holds

I'll keep everyone informed

i just started browsing this forum more curious about how the 06 SE rear would work on an 04..and i actually had the same idea for my car...i got 04 compG fusion orange...i wanna do black stripes..i didnt even think to try it in photoshop...but i dunno..i want it to be unique..not just straight stripes...didnt know if it would be good to go on front and rear bumpers or not...any ideas? (future goal is inferno hood and airdam but hood is no where near my budget now)
