FINALLY got my stripes done today. Holy crap! It's a little overcast today so only one picture so far more to come if anyone wants to see more.
Great Job! I really really like the color.:headbang:

$400? I'm glad I was able to use Big Worm to put them on! I've seen a couple of sets now where people put a small gap between the main stripes and pinstripes. I like it but I prefer no gap.
I would have gone with big worm for install but I'm a couple thousand miles away. $400 was actually the cheapest in my area from a reputable installer. I had them line up both gap and no gap so I could see them side by side and with these colors the red looked matte and not gloss with no gap and I like the contrast between gloss and matte in the stripes. Its also similar to the super snake stripes with the gap and you can never go wrong with those. I saw someone post matte black and gloss blue and that combo looked great no gap. It's all Owner preference which I love And is why I went with big worm!

Everyone was way too high around me too. It made the trip worth it to me. Stripes and full blackout kit installed in about 3 hours and I was on my way home.

I'm not a fan of the stripes anymore. Everybody has them in every configuration possible. I prefer a clean/subtle look as opposed to stripes. That's not to say I don't appreciate appearance mods, I do. Stripes just aren't for me anymore. 10 years ago it would have been a different story. (also the fact that I've seen older cars with stripes where the stripes look like crap after a few years and need to be re-done).

I'm definitely over the twin lemans-style stripes but these cars do look great.

For me, it would either be no stripes or possibly the Super Snake style if any and in matte black on a black car.

The beauty of vinyl. No longer care for it? Want a different look? Peel it off!

Matte black Super Snake stripes were actually my first choice. However after looking at it and Photoshopping I think the narrower stripes fit much better with the hood and body lines on this model.
