Finally did the Plastdip on the front lower (also pics of Faux Carbon Rally Stripes)

I can't say it came out perfect but I am happy with it!

Damn looks great! Where did you get the stripes?

Oh do you still want your stock mufflers? Haha I couldn't remember if you wanted them back or want me to give them away or throw them away

Looks good! i did the same on mine except im planning on redoing it and following the whole beveled edge around the lower grill. I think it makes it look even more realistic

I got the stripes from this ebay seller: http://myworld.ebay.com/totallyawesomedecals/ They were about $160ish shipped and are 3m vinyl.

My only complaint about the stripes is they didn't go all the way back to the end of the hood near the windshield.

Can I get two more pictures?

One of the area you are complaining about and a shot of the stripes on the trunk.

Thanks!

That's how the factory stripes are. There is a section of body color between the stripe and the edge of the hood. It looks better this way.

Nice. Thanks for the pictures.

I have been debating on stripes for my SW convert and now I have found them!

Did you install them yourself?
