Fredericksburg Custom Auto Shop?

Hey - I would like some little stuff applied to my MINI, like red pinstripes on the edges of the bonnet stripes. I tried to do it myself but keep screwing it up. Any suggestions for a good body/custom auto shop not too far from me???

Why not replace the bonnet stripes with ones that have the pinstriping?

Hmm, I thought that would be too much work for a small change; didn't really think about that option. Either way, I would still need a place to go... ?

For something small like that, I would suggest trying your local sign shop. Most places (like Signs by Tommorrow and etc) offer a vehicle installation service. They are not that expensive to boot.

OK, but are they expensive to bonnet? (sorry, couldn't resist!)
