I like the way your stripes frame the scoop but come just inside the washers. I'm not going to change a thing. It's perfect!

On my R52, this was perfect, but on the R58, I had wanted the main stipe 6", but the designer didn't follow my direction and went 7. At this configuration, the outside chasers will hit the windshield washer jets, which I wanted to avoid. The installer did a nice job working around them, so ultimately it didn't matter. You might consider a slightly more narrow main stripe.

Thanks, I thought they looked bigger then 6", no I like the look it looks great.

This is an old post but I do like what you did. Great looking job.
I'm thinking about running the wide stripes on mine and take the doubles off or maybe even one (1) wide stripe.
