Default Stripes installed (pics)

The stripes that I bought from vettestripes last October finally got installed today.









I like them, I think it personalizes the car but is not over the top. What do you think?

I am generally NOT a fan of stripes, but those, I LIKE! Nice job. They are distinctive without being overbearing.

That's what I wanted, sutle but not too much. I think that these fit the bill.

No Dee Gee, I can't take the credit for the install. I probably would have screwed it up so I didn't want to take the change.
