Anybody completely checkered out?

Any folks out there go all-out in checkered?

Let's see your checkers!!! (unless there is already a checkered photo thread). I'm building and need to see how it looks in practice.

DixonL2, do you ride your bike in the city? Keep an eye out for me on a blue seven odonata on beachwood or in schenely.

I also have the checkered sunroof & spoiler graphic(not shown, which makes a huge difference in the summer to keep the interior cool). I was also thinking about the checkered door handles but think stripes would be too much(for me at least).

I have 23 checkered items on my CR Cooper, although you can't see but a few of them in this pic because of all the shiny glare ... actually, because most of them are small and/or out of sight in this pic.












Of the top of my head:
Roof
Mirror caps x 3
License plate frames x 2
Under bonnet eyes x 2
Wheel center caps x 4
Valve stem caps x 4
Warning label covers x 2
Whalen Shift ****
3-Flags plates x 2
Door sill plates x 2
