Iv got two stickers to go on the stripes on order. I was hoping they would be here before I painted it because I planed on clearing over them and people would think I was even more of a bad *** because "firehawk" was painted on the stripes..

The bird on the plate cover is also painted..that took me a bit of time and the use of FU** to get it right

I like it, it adds a subtle touch and it's not the same old stripes you aaaallways see on an f-body.
