Not my cup or tea to add stripes to my car. I'm glad you're happy with the result and good job on the diy!

Thanks.
I already modified the one on the back (deleted the bottom portion on the trunk, under the lip). The discontinuity was too much for my OCD to handle--they only lined up if you were perfectly behind the stripes. ;-)

Most appearance mods on this car i do not like.
This i like, nice job, and the fact that you took your time (6 hours) and did it right i like as well. Do like that you have it lined up with the M240 badge in the rear...makes it look like it belongs, the color works well...good job

Taking it a step at a time to see if it works. The nice thing about vinyl is that if I don't like how it looks, I can just peal it off.

Thumbs up

I like the look. It really pops.
It has sort of lates '60's retro vibe to me.
