Very nice.
Does anyone know who makes the cove decal? I've rarely seen this, but know it's out there.
It has a sprayed paint look--dark near the vents, then fades toward the rear of the door.

I put the stripes over the clear protective film. That was the one area that I was concerned about but it blended in well and even seeing it in person, people have asked which is on top.

Thanks for all the positive feedback!!!

That's great to know....I also have the 3M film, the concern of applying the stripes op top of the film has prevented me from getting stripes. Vette Stripes must be confident there won't be any adhesion issues as long as you prep it correctly.

I know not everyone is a fan of stripes but that's cool too.

Thanks to Mike at Vette stripes for an awesome product.

Check out the pics - be sure to view the full size pics, they get a bit distorted when shrunken and it looks like we messed them up







That looks realy good, but I would have preferred the thinner outlining stripe to continue all around the larger stripe.

Who knows, I may just add some black stripes to my white FRC now !

Congrat!
Yeah I saw those as well. The only problem with those is that they continue down onto the rear facia. I'd like them better if they stopped on the top of the truck lid like most of the other stripe kits do.

To borrow from other posters, subtle but tasteful.
