new stripes, what do you guys think?

Finally took the time to add some new stripes. Went with a flat black. What a pita. Any thoughts on how they look?

Nice work! Those are more complimentary to the minis lines rather than the viper stripes

Looks good. Did you notice much fading difference between where the stripes were and where they were not?

Yeah, I actually took white stripes off when I bought the car and had to buff out the fade. I put these stripes in place of the old ones.

The combination of the matte black stripes and scoop looks awesome!

i took of 5 year old stripes and the fade is definitely noticeable when looking for it or if you know its there but nothing annoying. would most likely buff out or atleast blend in quite nice with a little compound.

Car looks great overall!

Are those the ebay depo black housing headlights? Did you swap them out instead of your factory xenon headlight?

stuff

Thanks everyone. I did get these headlights on line. I sold the oems with HIDs and all and placed some projection style ones in but they started having lense issues and I really didnt care for the look so I bought these and love them. Pretty stock looking but with the black housing. There also cheap. Think I paid $150 for the set. I ordered 6k HIDs for the headlights and fogs. Cant wait to see what they look like. Miss the HIDs.....
