Hyper Blue/ Black and Ghost Vipers

I like the HB with a black roof. I also like the ghost viper stripes. Will ghost viper stripes look good with HB and black roof? Anyone have ghost vipers on HB?

I offer these "ghost" style viper stripes in a 3M material. I currently have no installed images to show you, but I am confident that they would look excellent on your new Hyper blue MINI.

Thanks Matt, I checked out your site and the 6" Blunt Viper stripes look great. Are your "ghost" stripes slightly translucent, where they would allow the HB to show through slightly? Or are they just gray in color? Is the 3M material better than other material?

Couldn't be sure whether it would look good, but if you want lots of pics of my HB/B, check out my site, the link is in my signature. I like the color combo too. Enjoy.

Great site Mike. Your car looks fantastic. Thats why I wanted to get some opinions on the ghost stripes. Don't want to ruin the look, just enhance it Also, what type of interior do u have? I am undecided on the alloy patina or anthracite? I want black leather and anthracite headliner, I would like the anthracite but it might make the interior too dark. Any thoughts?

Thanks Fidge, glad you like it. I have the Hyper Blue interior, actually, and love it to death. I just posted earlier today in another thread how I really just don't think it has the same character without it. It totally rocks, but that's just my personal opinion. That's also the one thing I really need to fix about my site - still no pics of the interior! Feel free to ask me any other questions you have about your order.

Fidge,

I think the ghost stripes would look great on the hyper blue. I have a CR/W and I keep thinking of getting some type of stripes but not the ghost stripes.

Mike,
Great Stanford sticker on your car! I graduated a while ago. . .ahem. . .(86'). . .but we did have two cr/w MINIs at our tailgater for the USC game. Maybe we can have a MINI tailgate party at one of next year's games. Sorry for the partial hijacking Fidge. Go Stanford. Beat Cal.

Cheers,

Our Ghost/Frost stripes *are* translucent...the paint does show through. Currently, 3M makes the best Ghost/Frost material...I am always look for higher quality substrates and this is the best to date.

It's not quite the same, but I've got a pair of the viper stripes in ghost (frost) on the way from Mighty Stripes. I'm putting them on Indi Blue. So that might give you an idea, anyway.

I'll put some photos on line when I'm done (next week maybe?) putting the stripes on.
