...thanks guys.

..got from here: http://www.carbonfiberfilm.com/

..its a good deal, but again...I had to cut myself, I even asked them if they would cut...but is not a service they offer.

..very good service though, answered my email promptly (on the weekend) and quick turnaround time!

I just wish I'd ordered more...so I could cover my boot handle too! ..gonna order some more.

Thank!

Well, this has been a popular thread over the past four years. I would be interested to see what the OP ended up deciding on. Not sure how to search for such a thing in the forum.

Anyway, here are my stripes (pardon the dirt!). The previous owner had it done so I can't take credit but I do really like the color combination and the asymmetrical design. It works well with the red-line interior. I do however think that the side view is rather plain so I am looking to do something but I don't want to over-do it. Any suggestions?

Definitely digging this thread. Anybody know where I can purchase matching boot stripes? I feel like having "suspenders" only in the front looks unbalanced and awkward. Thoughts? Thanks for any help!

here are a few shots of my wife's pepper white and my dark gray 2010 MCS's. These were taken early last summer before I made many updates to my car.

That looks amazing!!! Is the checkered stripe on the bottom separate from the circular 8 decal or is that all one piece? I'm interested in doing that to my Pepper White Cooper S R56. Thanks!

Just got the stripes done on my new S:

The guy used something called FLX-Paint, a vinyl that is actually painted and clearcoated, it looks so awesome!

A little shop called http://wetintcars.com here in Indiana. The guy ordered the vinyl, cut it, and applied it plus tinted the windows for $700 total. The vinyl can be waxed and buffed, and it looks like it's part of the car. I just showed him a photo of one I liked and he took it from there. FYI, the wide stripe is 10 inches and the thin one is 1/2 inch. Thanks for the compliment! I think the car is much faster now...

Madmaxxed...I love the gray mini. Also dig the reverse numbers...any meaning to them? We almost got a number 36 on ours.
Anyways, here's what Lyle @ vinylstyles.com did for us. He actually has a couple pics of ours on his web site. Great guy to work with

There is some meaning behind the #s with the wife and I. We have been happy with the vinyl work so far. There were a few hiccups in the process but they seem to have worked out. I wish I had gone with my gut and went with another vinyl company. The side stripes on our cars have shrunk some, leaving a sticky residue along the edges. It's really only noticeable up close but it drives me nuts.

I have racing stripes with reverse flames and scuttle flames. I love them only wish I had been brave enough to do them in purple.

pewq1375 I love your stripes.

Surf Blue Countryman knighted with stripes!

I decided to put silver stripes with orange trim (I really like orange!)
