Sport Stripes with Sunroof / Moonroof

I am picking up my True Blue '12 All4 this Thursday and am contemplating bonnet vs. sport stripes (yeah I know, everyone does).

My car will be equipped with the sunroof(s) and upon searching, I didn't see anything that showed what the sport stripes looked like on the roof.

Anyone?

Here's what mine look like.
I am getting ready to continue the stripe over the sunroof with a view through

I think they actually look better when they pass through the roof and down the boot even if you break them for the sun roof. Also... I've seen very few that follow the stripes down through the front bumper and imho it really brings the striping out and all together when this gets done. The solid stripe rather than the factory contoured pitch fork cut out has a more solid look as well.

Hey Schin, very cool stripes, like the flip of color over the roof. Will be really cool with your perforated ones you plan on installing. I bet from outside looking at the roof, they will appear almost solid.

Krafty.

This is the best shot I have of my roof.



If I had a sunroof, I would get them to put the regular stripes across it as well.

Edit: Dangit, picture is sideways. Oh well, just turn your head.

That looks nice! I like the pin stripes (is that what they're called?)

I just ordered red sport stripes on true blue with white roof. I think white pin stripes stripes would look nice at some point.

Getting the sunroof so might have to put some thought into eventually striping the roof. Would like to see more pics of stripes with sunroof.

To each his own and not trying to rain on the stripes on sunroof brigade. When I striped my All4S, I purposely left the stripes off the roof and I still prefer her that way. The good news is that the striping material left over was used to redo the rear hatch after some idiot mutilated those stripes in San Antonio AND the installer changed my '4's to red.

The installer is in Houston and did a fabulous job.
