We even have the same caps on the license plate bolts.

By the way, my wife HATES the flames-says they are too much contrast. But it is MY car!

My wife was asking me why I wanted them on and why can't I just leave it alone. After I put them on she admited that she was wrong and that they looked nice. She said the same thing about my pinstripes until she saw them on. I have another windshield banner but I think it will be a while before I get a chance to put it on. It raining today switching over to snow for the next couple of days.

Thats what you get for living up north. Here in the city we just have rain. I still found a dry moment to replace the glass etching with yellow bowtie, which I think balances the look. Here it is:







I think I need to add HHR to either the side bowtie or inside the flame. Also, maybe blue or orange accents on the flames.

Did they black vinyl over the dots around the mirror from the inside?

Nope-had to be from the outside. I wanted to conceal the mirror and the big, white, ugly EZ Pass which are on the inside. So, they cut a piece of black vinyl for the outside, then the yellow bowtie, then the flames on each side. They had a design for a bowtie with flames coming out of each side (1 piece) but it would have covered part of the top of the window and blocked the already marginal vision. As it is now, if I am the first car waiting for a traffic light, I can't see the signal unless I duck down. So, I generally wait for the cars behind me to start honking then I know it is green. The problem is when there is no traffic. I sometimes sit at the light for hours waiting...

It looks nice! It really makes the bowtie stand out.

Thanks. I just noticed that it looks off because the bowtie is not symetrical.
