What if you were to use a clear vinyl with a matte or satin finish? That might be easier to find.

 

Just did these stripes to my wife's car today...









Oh and I blacked out the grille, headlights and taillight trims etc
Also wrapped the car in matte metallic purple =O)
All in 2 days.

 

that's a great idea- something I was thinking about too. Maybe I can find a small test sheet to play with.

 

I was going to have my stripes continue over the sunroof, but it didn't look right. See the link in my sig to pics of how it looks without it. I think it looks fine not doing the sunroof.

 

 

What did you use to color your PIAA letters red?

 

 

Who is your vinyl supplier? And awesome install! Did you have any issues

 

Purchased from Avery direct.

No issues. I do this for a living =O)

 

Yeah! Working on finishing off the boot now. This stripe is painted and I won't be changing my mind!

 

Finally (after a few botched attempts of my own...) my stripe found it's way down my boot! Nice to be complete. Many thanks to fellow NAMer, BMC_Kid for donating his PW boot handle to the cause. And also to InvaderZim who also went all the way down the valence with a very similar stripe and helped me decide to do the same.

 

Love the finished product!!!! Been following your build this past few weeks... Excellent job!!!

 

 

Thanks - I appreciate that. It's funny, I didn't tell the body shop to delete the Cooper badge - but I like the clean look.

 

 

update from silver to black stripes.

 

Removed the OEM black/silver and made my own

 

 

JCW style

 

 

New to me 2013 MCS with JCW Aero kit. Got stripes installed today to compliment the rim color.

 

As she came, no stripes in the rear.

 

 

Here's my BRG Mini with very subtle BRG racing stripes. I hope it's not too flashy!
