Default Easy mod....

I had just applied metallic copper racing stripes, and used the vettestripes.com material on the wheel lug nuts...

I like the stripes. Don't care for what you did to the lug nuts.

Looks great. Did you get the premask option when you ordered?

Stripe looks great but the lug nuts don't.

Agreed. It makes them look dirty.

I agree, stop playing with your nuts.

Car looks great though.

No, did not use premask. Not difficult to install, just careful time consuming.

Idea with lug nuts was to pick up a little color (as many do with colored calipers). I suppose one could do that with body color if they really needed to play with their nuts
