Subtle pin stripes or accents?

LOL - and you still, to this day, deny that your incident a few years ago was an urban myth? The Exploding Toilet - An Urban Legend

What can I say, but having one's Gluteus Maximus reattached is a painful memory.

You could say it was a real pain in the...umm...you know.

Well I finally got my pin stripe with graphic tips installed and I'm very unhappy with them.
The stripe is fuzzy looking with irregularities in the clear coat and the tips were not installed well and don't look like they even match the stripes. The company that installed them said they will work with me to either fix, replace or remove them. I'm just very frustrated. I was just looking for a subtle accent, now I'm affraid to try anything else.
(I have a picture but can't figure out how to insert it?) Thanks

Looks alright. Personally I would have moved them up to follow the body line. Glad they will work with you to make it right. Remember its what you like. We just make suggestions.

Looks like they forgot to remove the alignment tape, that would be the clear vinyl tape over the two stripes and over the end pieces , but that's the view from here

Have them pay for a new kit, and then show them a pic of old blue's so they can follow the body lines and do it right so sad you will be much happier!

Coop, PM me about your striping. I do vehicle graphics for a living; wraps, pin stripes, truck lettering etc. Started striping cars in the '70's. Could help you to figure out what these guys did wrong.
