My wife looked over my shoulder as I opened the thread and said "Oh that's pretty!"

I agree. It was done in good taste in my opinion.

Details on the stripe...3M wrap in metallic black, and the red is dragon flame red. Window tent is ceramic tent.

the stripe plus the black on lower panel was 500. Tent was extra.

I looked into 3 shops in Houston, and this one ended up doing the work.

Your stripe does look great.

I wonder if you thought any about putting a hint of red on the leading edge of "hip" air inlet.

That's a lot of pizzazz for $500! I wish GM would put contrasting color on the edges of their stripes like you did. Ferrari does that. I think it makes it more premium looking.

I like the added red stripe. Now you have got me thinking as I ordered Torch red with the black stripe, but an additional accent color sure looks good.

They look great, perfect accent to the car. Corvette Racing has also had red mirrors for years.

They do the tint too? How much does that run? BTW, Creative Wraps and Graphics is less than 2 miles away from me.

Thanks.
