Nice execution -- even looks like you continued the stripe on the driver's seat

Excellent design & color scheme!

Now as a dog lover I gotta say--that puppy is the cutest freakin thing! He/she does not look real!

Anybody got any ideas for a Liquid Yellow Mini with a white roof? My baby feels a bit naked, and I can't decide how I want to dress her up.

Go for some white Sports stripe or Spaced Pin stipes

I think we did a great job on Chibi's stripes. it was just a little "left of center" by putting the red stripe off set into the black stripe. Came out nice.

Dragon, I kinda want to do some Shelby Stripes on my car (http://www.aestheticreations.net/bonnetstripes2.htm), but I'm unsure what it would look like. Any chance you could draft up a crude photoshop? I'd try it but it'd probably take me 6 hours... haha. I want the stripes to start at the bumper (horizontal "Lip" on the aero bumper, just below the top grill) and continue up the bonnet. I thought about extending them up the roof, but I'm not sure how that would look considering my roof is white (Alternate to black there?).

Here's a pic...

Here is a pic of my stripes. I had Mike from Aesthetic Creations install them at MotD.



They also go down the boot and back bumper too.

So, I am definitely having Aesthetic Creations do my stripes...i just love all the work I've seen so far from this thread, and from the DCMM meets...

I just dont know what color/style to go with? I have a NFR MCC. The convertible roof is black, so black stripes would work (but my tops only really up in winter or if its raining).
But white stripes have a nice contrast with the paint.

Any suggestions?? (on color or style) my imagination just isnt working...Heres how it looks now...the standard pinstripe stripes need to go
