if i do a paintsripe, its gonna be done the way they ALL should be....by hand from a professional. they travel to tons of carshows and arent hard to run across. i think a very thing pinstripe the same color as the red would look good too.

airlid looked too plain to me without something. plus i didnt prep it as well as i should have, and you can see the MTI letters under the paint so it was a quick fix to hide it

Looks good. I don't have a pinstripe on my car, I think it looks better without it.

i doubt you have a third color in your color scheme like i do tho. it would really tie everything together nicely since silver and black are my main colors, and the garnet is my accent color.
