Color Changing Stripes

It has been suggested to me by Aesthetic Creations that I get a color-changing stripe for my Lightning Blue MINI. My first reaction was that it would be too over-the-top. But, I was shown some cool pics. Does anyone have any experience with them? Thanks!

I thought they might be a little too flashy for me too until I saw them at the Dragon...looked pretty cool. There is a pretty good shot of them on the AC website. They will also send you samples if you ask...really helps you get a better idea having it there next to the paint.

They were suggested for my Purple Haze, but I had my heart set on red. I may try them in the future if I get bored with the red.

I saw some flames that Mike put on a car at AMVIV (the folks who renewed their vows with Elvis). Their car was blue (what shade I forget) but they looked SHARP! From some angles they were almost invisible and from other angles they jumped out. Awesome!

I think I have a picture somewhere of that car. The stripes were painted with the chameleon paint.

I doubt any sticker could do what paint can.
