Custom Bonnet stripes?

First off, you know I have to learn to call it a bonnet and the boot instead of the hood and the trunk. It's a British car!

Anyway, does anyone have any pictures of some custom bonnet stripes they've put on? I'm looking for something aside from the generic stripes you can order with your car. Please post some pics. I'm looking for ideas.

Custom Bonnet Stripes?

Here's what I had a local custom stripe shop do. They came out great and you can decide exactly what to do. I would suggest you get professional installation vs. do it yourself approach.

Alright, who has the ladies face painted on the bonnet and has spiders on the side. I forgot the color of the car but a local person here by San Diego did a great job of it. At least he was putting on the custom spiders and I understand he did the picture. I can ask him and make sure.

Whoever has this MINI needs to put the picture on here to show what can be done.

Here are the stripes I installed myself. They were inexpensive too.

Nice. Where did you get the stripes? They look good running straight down the bonnet.

You wouldn't believe me if I told you, but here it goes. I found them at my local Autozone. A roll 20 feet long was $15 I believe. The vinyl is thin, but for 15 bucks for 20 feet I could change the stripes a few times without breaking the bank.

Man I thought this thread was dead. Anyway, take a look at the custom job I had done by www.tribaltuna.com

I've received a lot of comments from co-workers. Some aren't sure what to think
