Day pics.
Next up are eyelids, some form of springs..not sure which way to go next and a front lip.
Then, finally, the turbo kit I've been saving for.

The stripes look great overall!
Is the back right messed up on the trunk?
The area behind the license plate looks a little odd to me, but other then that good job!

The only flaw in the entire setup is the passenger side where it comes down over the trunk. There are a few creases, if they don't work themselves out over the next few days I'm going to just replace that piece.
But that area is such a bitch to do when trying to keep the vinyl straight I'm not in a hurry to redo it. Those pieces have to be shrunk and streched in many places, many times to flow right over all the curves. It may not look like a difficult area but go try it, the vinyl wants to change directions 3 times.

Yea it is noticeable. But I have plenty of material left to redo that. So far it's worked itself most of the way out from being in the sun.

I'm not digging it....again..i've never been a fan of racing stripes....they remind me of those cheap muscle cars..like old camero or something from 80's...... I rather have some crazy graphics on the sides than the stripes.. but hey..... if you think it looks good ...then it all that matters , right? haha

hey goat nice look...does remind me of the viper scheme...I can't wait to see them in person. One question - I'm pretty sure you guys had to remove the plate to place the stripes back there - why do you keep that ugly frame from your dealership?
