After a year-Finally added bonnet stripes

My wife's been wanting bonnet stripes for over a year. Of course I was too busy modding my own ride to deal with it! For Xmas I got her these. They're color-changing vinyl. Thanks to Mike at Aesthetic Creations for excellent service!

Looks like a standard "chameleon" finish, except in vinyl. So, the colours would shift depending on viewing angle.

Thanks all! And yes, they shift color depending on viewing angle.

Changing color by heat would be neat, but here they would always be the same color, since the temp is always hot, hot, or hot.
