thanks guys I appreciate all the positive feed back and Torchd 02 TA make sure you check this thread when you get home lol. you can't just say my car looks a like *** and get away w/ it! but i'm wetsanding my spoiler right now (since my painter clearly didn't and you can see the fiberglass patch) and then I'm going to put on my sail panel and spoiler stripes. Because I put the rear deck stripes a little closer together I'm going to have to trim the spoiler stripes around the third brake light a little. I think it'll come out fine. we'll see.......

Looks good, I think when you get it all done and get some actual pictures it will look great.
We all know pictures never do justice.

Well I put on the rest of my stripes today. It was definitely annoying to line everything up, but for the most part it came out perfectly aligned. I also cleaned up the whip from all the soap residue and ****, but nothing serious at all; just the standard Meguiars Car Wash, Meguiars Clay Kit, ShowroomFX's "Crystal Black" Carnauba Wax (applied by hand), and Wolfgang's Paint Sealant (applied by hand). I also retinted my stock side markers and replaced the tinted aftermarket clear ones, since they stuck out way too much (shaved off all the lettering), put in my DRL housings (since my old ones were lost by the painter), and some other stuff that's not worth mentioning. These matte black stripes makes the car look like its a limited edition model...pretty sweet.

Here's some pics.....or let me rephrase it in a manner that Crimson would present this in... HELLUVA LOT OF PICS YO! CHECK IT! hahaha















































and a short video... this was after the carnauba and in mid process of paint sealing....and trust me I know i'm corny lol

ya dude, I'm gonna head to my gmas house to use her sewing machine and i'm gonna hope that I get past the shifter and ebrake boots, and the center console lid, so I can get to the glove box, underneath the steering column and the instrument cluster... don't know how much I'll get done.

Never cared for the roof and rear stripes but being so subtle they look real good on your car

FOURTH CIRCLE DESIGNS!!!!! .. fair prices, great vinyl, great customer service (he helped me out a lot designing the rear stripes for the deck and the spoiler), and fast shipping. All the essential entities of a successful business. He's a pending sponsor for the site and if you mention that you're from LS1tech he will hook you up.

yea I'm glad I decided to put the the entire stripes set on; if it were charcoal metallic or any other color I wouldn't do it.
