It's pretty rare that we get to see anything on "main-stream" TV about these guys and it's even rarer that we get to see them place in the top 5 in any of the dog shows. My personal theory is that everyone is biased towards poodles, shepherd or goldens (not that I have anything against the last two)!

Just out of curiosity, I'd be interested to know how many of you that ended up w/custom striping jobs started out w/factory or dealer-applied stripes?

Keep the pics a-coming, and keep up the great work!
I bought my car used and she had the factory stripes (at least they really looked factory and I have no other after market stuff on her). I bought her after she had spent 4.5 years in Miami, no idea if she was garaged or not. The stripes looked pretty good still. They could have been a second set. I just wanted a different look. When I removed my stripes, there was definite color difference so I felt like I had to have stripes in the same location. It is probably where I would have striped her anyway but just something to consider...make sure you like the location, especially if they are on for awhile and especially if your MINI sees a lot of sun!

The way these are curved, the MINI just looks faster! The Ferrari trailing you doesnt hurt that illusion...

I'm sure they are worth at least another 5 mph with the way they part the wind

I realize that these are not aftermarket stripes but I still like them better than most other stripes that I have seen.

ROFL!! Love the stripes, but it must make opening the sun-roof/convertible top a real pain!

Ha... good thing I dont have a sunroof/convertible. For those who do and want these stripes installed... you may want to think twice.

Hey I live in mass too. I was thinking of doing something similar to my dark silver and white mini. Is there anyway of seeing what your roof looks like?

Here are a few close ups of the roof... a bit rainy today, but do these help?
