They look great! I think they'd be even better if you went over the bumpers and all the way down! Especially since you guys don't have to deal with the font license plate.

We all know there's never a "final mod."

Stripes look great - but I too call BS on the "no more mods"

Nice,

I was thinking the same as drew-whatisname, but then I looked again, very nicely balanced.

Looks good, is this vinyl?

Let's see what September brings.

Thanks Don,

Yes, the stripe is vinyl. I'm going to get some more stripe and run it down all the way to see what it looks like but I'm afraid it will give it a long in the face look...

Not sure if you caught my post but I'm gonna put some on to try it but I think it's going to be too much.

We'll see.

PS. What time did you get out of SStyles?

Got done about 6:30, Looks good except on the hood. From the middle around to the drivers side there is a good bit of chrome still showing along the bottom. But it's a definite contrast to the Blue.

Definite contrast alright. Looks good but I think I would have stuck with black....

Ya know, you ought to start thinking about doing a wing for the Coopster. I think there will be a lot of demand for that.

Final mod... yea right. You might try running for office if you think we are going to believe that. Maybe on the outside... you still have interior and under the bonnet!

Oh yea that wing does look much better than the rabbit ear one.

Your car looks awesome... except for the book shelf on the back of your car. Not a fan of that unfortunately.
