Added Side Graphics, Input Welcome

So I added a side graphic on my BRG II. The white is super white and stands out a lot. I plan on going back tomorrow and putting a small pin stripe above and below the bars on the left and right side of the words, so they match the racing stripe down the center.

Input wanted. Be kind





Picture of the racing stripe

Less is more IMO. I wouldn't add any stripes at this point. Photoshop them in to see what it looks like first.

Why use photoshop when you can use Paint?

Ha, nice paint skills. Gonna throw on the pin stripes this afternoon, worst case it looks bad and I peel them off. Im going to let it stay for a few days, see if it grows on me. At the moment, its kinda stark. But hey, I'll definitely be able to find mine at the dealer when Im getting service done.

Looks great and the pin stripes do dress it up a notch.

Changed my mind, pin stripe looks better.

IMHO, I think it would look better if the lettering was separated from the stripes

I like the side graphic. Not a big fan of the stripe (I dont really like stripes though so that plays a role in it)

I tore the other graphic installing it so ended up pulling them off :(


I am looking at other ideas atm. Will post once I make a decision.
