There are several good vendors most of us here use.

Cooper Flags. www.cooperflags.com

Mighty Stripes. www.mightystripes.com

And my personal choice, Aesthetic Creations. www.aestheticreations.net

None of those three had the exact stripes chrisreese has, or am I overlooking it? I saw some on ebay but don't want to get the cheap stuff just to save a few bucks. I'm going to try the install myself, as the first mod before I change the shoes from the curb-rashed, brake dust bitten, S-lites. Thinking about ASA AR1s or R90s.

Any of them can custom makes stripes for you, I'm sure. I know Mike, at Aesthetic Creations, can.

I agree, that was a remarkable improvement and I hope to get the same. Where did you order your stripes and what was the cost? Awesome job, did you do it yourself?

I got them from Aesthetic Creations, I think they were $60. I had a window tint guy put them on for $30. I've heard that because of the bonnet shape, they tend to curve in no matter how hard you try to lay them straight (and they do), so I had a pro do it, and the only way you can tell is if you measure the gap.

I've done some black out, and the silver stripes seem to be getting dirt in them, and nothing will get it out... so my next set of stripes will be matte black

Was that $60 for both front and back?

Sorry, should have specified. That was just the front. I'm going to leave the back clean.

What are those wheels on your Mini? Where did you purchase, what size? Tires? Those are nice.
