Just put on MINI challenge stripes! Tacky?

Hey there, today was a beautiful day to work on the car! So I put on my MINI challenge stripes, when I was done, I realized I CARELESSLY put the stripes facing the opposite way . But whats your guys opinions about the way it looks right now even though its backwards. It was too late by the time I had realized it was on the wrong way. http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/9...estripewy9.jpg

That's backwards? Seriously...they look great. Besides, on the far off chance someone DOES notice, tell them you wanted the stripes to be unique.

Thanks guys, ordered it from aesthetic creations, I thought that the stripes were the same both ways =P. Down here in Miami, the lowest temperatures go in the 40s at night.

I always had in my mind that those stripes wouldnt look right unless you also had JCW side skirts to go along (that way you have body color on top & bottom of the stripe and not the black plastic skirt on the bottom), but I guess I was wrong! Looks great dude and like everyone has already said I wouldnt have even noticed if u didnt say anything...

Do you mean you switched the right and the left? in which case you should post a dead on front pic of the car so we can truly tell if it's ok. but it does look fine from the side.

Thanks again for the feedback guys. I have h&r springs on but but doesn't look like because the ebrake is up with the car at a slant . Next to go on is the checkered sunroof =). I cant take a dead-on picture right now because its dark out here, but if you'd like I'd take a picture when I can to get a better view of the stripes. BTW down here in Miami, palm trees are everywhere hehe. I'll trade them for some snow!
