Never thought of pinstriping. Always thought about having them painted that way though. Looks hawt!
Pics installed plz.
I'm curious, I want to get my wheels painted black, and cant decide on silver/polished lip or a red lip.

Hey Torque Fiend, where did you get the colored Trans Am letters for your door. Is it just the stick on decals or are the actual letters colored.

I've been on the fence about these (not for my car, Sommer has been playing with the idea for his) but after seeing Fury's car and Torque's I'm leaning towards liking them...

Any on car pics from the OP yet?

I used them on my sportbike becuase I didn't want the upkeep of polished lips but never thought of putting them on a car, they're cheap and look good. Mine have been on for about 4 years now and have held up at speeds the car won't reach. I would suggest placing the overlaps in conjunction with wheel rotation.

I've had my pinstripes sitting in my room since the day i saw this.....I hoped seeing this thread would've inspired me, lol. Alas, it did not. I need to get off my *** and put them on already. Mark, I thought you knew I had them.

As for the OP request....mount those things already!!! Man, they look killer!!!
