I kinda like my revised design better. I think I would remove the factory "Ram Air" vinyl and add them at the top of the cowl in the vinyl insert area. Could you try this and see what it looks like? I think it'll be a winner.

Also, the curve is too sharp. Instead of doing a curved 90 degree vinyl cut, try a more smoother line - like a 70 degree cut. Do you get what I mean?

Take a look at the very last picture in the above post. See the right hand driver's headlight? The curve and the top left of that headlight curve is a smoother transition and, in my opinion would look better. Thats the curve angle I'm talking about.

I don't like stripes.

Both of these look bad *** to me. Maybe because it is different, I don't know.

No problem. Sorry it took so long to get it for you. Travel and training for work took a lot of my time.

I know I'm bumping an ol' thread but can someone fix up my poor rendering for me? Here's the quote that I am referring to:

I'm thinking of getting these made in vinyl for my car. I was thinking if someone could do a black WS6, with these stripes in red with a white border outline, that would be much appreciated! Here is my poor rendering: (I only did the left side)
