Looks GREAT! How do you think these would look on a PW MCS? When we ordered my wife's car she wanted something different so we ordered these from AC and took them to the dealer to have them installed when her car came in. However they forgot about them and when we picked up the car they had the black sport stripes on it instead
! To make a long story short they compensated us for the mistake. I still have the stripes but I'm on the fence on how they would look on a PW. Just looking for opinions.

Yeah they change about 5 to 7 different colors depending on how the light hits them and you angle of viewing. We sell paint called Chromalusion by Dupont Automotive Finishes but these are done with vinyl. The vinyl that we bought changes from blueish purple to green to silverish red to gold.

Mods will come but not anytime soon. She's thinking maybe to use the color change vinyl in some other way. Maybe to highlight the black sport stripes on the car on make some other design..

Great job on the flat black Sports stripes.

Thanks the install took me most of the day because I'm a little nuts, I mean detail oriented. Plus its my wifes car so she gets nothing but the best.
As far as mine goes, I'm trying to figure out what touches of red to do.
Definitely have to get rid of the chrome. I am looking for red mirror caps to trade for the chrome or the black from the wifes car. (Hers now are low gloss black like her scoop, and joey mod)
I'll do some kind of red stripe(s) not decided on size, quantity or location yet.
May red out the belt line and see how it looks. Same with door handles and gas cap. Phannarith wants me to do the spoiler in red, not sure on how that would look.
As far as the boot handle goes if nobody trades me a black or red one for the chrome I'll have to wing it. I can always paint it black
Thinking of doing the red carbon dash from Cooper Gear too. Black gauge faces.
I don't want to over do it.
