I like the viper stpies better than the pitchfork as the front would match the back. The pitchfork looks good but does not match the back stripe. Can I also vote for a matt black stripe vs gloss with your MINI.

Now that you mention the roof , that makes the gloss a bit more atractive unless you put the matt stripes on the roof as well.

Yea #2. Don't forget 3m makes a reflective black vinyl. It's black during the day and reflects silver at night. I ordered a sample to check it out. It's not as reflective as silver/white or red but would give a cool camilion look at night.

I want to get option 2 myself. I just don't know where from. houseofgrafx.com has something close, but their stripes are a little narrower. I also want to go over the roof. Anyone know the source for option 2? Else I'll have to find a place for custom order.
Thanks

I actually applied the 2nd option to mine, so I am biased. I didn't like the pitch fork design in the stripe and I wanted it to go down the front and rear bumpers.

hahaha yes yes you can have your say....hahaha... well not that I don't like the "FLAT BLaCK" but my thoughts are to stick with the "gloss" black because my wheels ,mirrors & roof are all gloss black so it will "FLOW" better as far as a overall theme I think I am also going to do a custom graphic I thought of but its TOP secret and cant be revealed until I install it
