I put a 16" stripe all the way down on my '93 Coupe recently. Still got a few airbubbles to work out, but I think it turned out pretty well. No pinstripe on the side.

I like it great color combo, is it dark blue? Where did you get it from?

Looks good! I've been thinking about white stripes om my 90 one of these days, probably just on the hood. This is the style I like only in white not silver.

Looks good. Years ago I had to replace part of my bumble bee stripe.The parts guy told me to wet it with some water and some dish detergent and that is how I got rid of the air bubbles.

Nice look, may I suggest ghosting metallic silver 1/4 pin strips along side your big boy stripe.
