Also we chromed the wheels, tinted the windows, painted the ground effects, blacked out the exhaust, added side gills and painted the deck lid. We also added the mats with the yellow trim. I love it! Tell me what you think?

Nice Job!
I'm curious as to why the bumper had to come off. When I was pricing my stripes, I was looking at bringing the stripes down past the hood which required the removal of the bumper and increased the cost to the point that I may change my mind and stay on the hood. Did you price it both ways? Or was that even a deciding factor?

I guess Since I can't afford the $7K needed for the two-tone paint I wanted, I'm calling my local dealer to see about painting stripes to match these... thanks for the detailed picks.

The bumper removal was to fill the holwa left from the front ground effect peice that was removed.
