Sport Stripes - dealer installed
Has anybody had the Sport Stripes installed by the dealer rather than the usual bonnet stripes? Pictures of how they look?
Has anybody seen an image of a MCS with the stripes off center? Some sports cars from the 60s had the pair of stripes off center like this - on the drivers side I believe. Any examples of stripes like this on a MC or MCS that you can point me to?

That's the idea:
These are a bit narrower than the dealer installed stripes, and a bit further to the side than I'd like!

Yes, thanks. I like these better than the factory bonnet stripes. I wonder if the dealer will locate them off to the side for me.

Never hurts to ask! I don't see why they wouldn't.

ok, here is my 2 minute mod to a screen grab of the color selector from the miniusa site.
It could go a hair bit more towards center.

From the stripes thread - these look custom, wider than the Sport Stripes:
That's Blalors - looks great!

Alright Ernesto - there is the off center stripe. A thick and thin combo. Now how did he arrive at the passenger side - I thought they should go on the drivers side? Oh - maybe he's thinking right hand drive?
Or I guess he's just matching his shirt!

I hit paydirt at CooperFlags.com
They have the wide/pinstripe combo, but I think it will work with Sports Stripes as well.

I've mocked up the rear too - I want them to stop at the bottom of the hatch:

Here is a picture from a real camera!
now all I need is a real photographer!
Thanks for the encouragement early on - the dealer was great and put the stripes down just as I wanted. I got the stripe material from
www.mightystripes.com
