The Shadow or "White Frost" as I like to call it will work on any color car. On lighter color cars it has a very faint shadow effect and on darker cars it tends to show up a bit more but it is still very "stealth" looking. Most of our boot and bonnet packages are $99.00 and there is still time to get a set before the July 4th weekend if you hurry.

Looks great!

Speeddesign's a customer of mine, and have done some awesome work for me before (well, my dad's '99 peterbuilt trruck). We'll have to go cooping sometimes kiddo.

Danny

Those are my favorite stripes. Wonderful match for your MC.
Excellent looking install. I hope it lasts forever! Lifetime warranty-right?

What happens when you wax the shadow stripes?

When you wax the shadow stripes they:

1. are protected
2. are waxy
3. shine.

(it doesn't change the shadow effect, if that's what anyone is wondering)

If you use a polymer wax like Zaino that has a UV block, so much the better, since it will help protect the vinyl from sun damage.

Just be sure you wax with the stripe and not perpendicular to the edges, as wax build-up will get under the edges of the stripe and cause adhesion problems as well as look nasty.

See ya,
JS

That's what I suspected. All the photos show the shadow stripes with a matte finish. and I wondered what they'd look like shiny.
