i know it isn't blue but this is how it turned out after i put the stripes. It was the right move , I like it.

Carbon fiber stripes are just vinyl printed with a pattern to look like carbon fiber. Personally, I'm not fond of vinyl trying to look like something else. I would recommend looking at a sample before commiting to it. Some online supplies provide samples for a small fee.

I really didn't like the black OEM hood stripes, but wanted something 'sporty' - considered the center & viper stripes (in fact, peeled the OEM's and started to install black viper stripes)...

Finally decided on silver 'checkmate' side graphics (not the hood), on CR/B, mainly because (a) I liked it and (2) had the vinyl and an exacto knife sitting around (+ beer) - thought about doing more, but I decided I like the more subtle look (all the good stuff's underneath!)...

(And, no, I don't keep the #'s on it all the time )

I have bonnet stripes and they are water spotted really bad so I am going to replace them and I am doing offset, one big, one small stripes that are white on the bonnet, blue on the roof and white on the trunk.
