GREAT JOB OF LINING UP THE STRIPES!!!

That color stripe looks excellent on the Silver...

That has got to be the most difficult job of putting stripes on a vehicle and they match up perfect...

I think it looks great. I'm a bit miffed though, as the last time you posted pics of this in the process it got me all excited about having it done to mine. I've called many different shops and individuals and nobody seems to want to take this project on. They all say the body has too many curves and turns(with the exception of one who wanted to charge me $650).

It is not a job for a novice, that's for sure. If we were to do this for a paying client at our shop, $650 is pretty close to what we would charge. If I didn't have the connections that I have, I probably would have looked into getting it painted.

Looks really nice, I have been thinking of doing the same to mine. How long did it take to put on.

Why the European style rally stripe? I'm not knocking it because it looks good and you did a great job but IMO it seems like an odd choice for the style of vehicle. No offense meant of course.

I refer to it as a surfboard stripe.
