Thanks!

As for the stripes, I went right off a pic of a C4 GS, so yes - I would say the pinstripe is mandatory.

And Brian, if you're still watching, I think after I added the pinstripes it looks great now running past the fog light openings. No reason at all to taper in.

You'll have to wait until Gary finishes his project before heading back to the barn.

That barn is always busy with some project.

I'm jealous, how do you do that. I've used Paint, but very primitive and lose all lines and contours.

Most people use Adobe Photoshop. When you alter a pic, people refer to it as a chop - hence the term Photochop.

I used the image variations function to alter the color. You can also use the color replace function, work with alpha channels which is the preferred method. Depends on your skill level with a high end image editing software as mentioned like Photoshop.

There is several flavors of Photoshop, probably the entry level is Photoshop Elements.
