New stripes put on at AMVIV

Mike from Aesthetic Creations created and installed the stripes for me at AMVIV. I really couldn't be happier with the craftsmanship and detail Mike put into my stripes. Real good guy and fun to talk to. The result is a stripe on my car that I feel fits with what I'm trying to achieve. Hopefully the new wheels will work even better than what's on there now. So here they are. What do you think? (good OR bad...I don't care!)

Looks especially sharp with your Aero kit. I like.

I have always liked the look of the stripes that go all the way too the bottom. Very clean.

I'm actually thinking that the stripes would have looked better NOT wrapped all the way down - they distract me from the nice lines of the aero bumper. AWESOME color choice though - looks fantastic!

The stripes look super. I really like the follow thru down past the aero kit. I would like to do the same thing with the same color choice. I think Mike needs to clone himself and set up shop around the country.

Those stripes look great in my opinion. You really need to either get a tow hook in or the cover back on.

This may be a first - but I disagree with Matt.

I LOVE them - especially the way they go down and the way they work visually with your grilles and aero kit. Gorgeous.

Your stripes look amazing. I think they look much better when they go all the way down

I actually did not want to get them on the boot for now. I kind of like the current clean look of the back and since it's small back there I thought it may look too cluttered. If I decide to go that route though, I will do it at the next AMVIV!

Awww...well, that is sweet. And unfortunately the lady bug mini will be redone at MITM. Hopefully there will be some great pictures to come!

Great pics of these stripes, BTW. I hope its OK if I steal one for the gallery!

Thanks again for the nice comments. I really appreciate it. My only complaint now is that I wish I had a dark silver roof with a solid vinyl piece over the sunroof. I think the black roof clashes with what I'm trying to achieve with the Dark Silver and Light Silver. I probably won't do anything about the roof at this point though.

Price? Hmmmm, I can't remember exactly. I think total out the door it was $175. Mike did the design, brought them to AMVIV, and installed himself. He had a special price offer since he was a vendor there so I couldn't pass up. Regularly I'm not sure how much this would have cost.

Gwylliongirl...feel free to take any pics you want!

Agreed....they look fantastic up on the hood The other bits are a little too busy and detract from the car
