Bonnet Stripes! Ideas?

Having new stripes put on my MCS today!!! They are White 6" Viper stripes with outline on my chili red MCS. Not sure about the placement yet though. I'm thinking about 2" apart on the bonnet and boot. Anyone have any ideas or pictures send them my way for ideas. My appointment is at 2:30 today.

Any other ideas on Chili Red dress up would be appreciated as well. I'm also adding side stripes very soon so im brain storming for design ideas.

When you say "outline", do you mean the pinstripe that is separated from the 6 inch stripes on the outside of each ? If so, yes, about two inches apart is best, IMO. Keep them close together as opposed to spread apart.

Yes the Pinstripes. Yea i'v seen them about 4' apart in pics. Didn't think that looked very good. Bought them at mightystripes.com. As a first time vinyl buyer I hope there good quality.

I bought a set from them. They're okay. Not as good as the OEM vinyl, IMO, but okay.
