Default New Strips for my Bird

I took the carbon fiber strips off that were on my car and had some painted on. The color is a gun metal grey with heavy silver metalic mixed in. I tried to match my wheels with the color. I made the strips come down the cowl to the hood so it was more visible from the side. Threw in a little pin strip and I think it turned out *****!! What do you guys think?



My Wheel color

And a heat shield for my K&N

Those stripes are perfect. Never been a big fan of leaving the stripes on the top only. Carrying them down over the sides makes them much more impressive. Good choice on the pin stripe too. Been thinking of doing this exact same thing only with a different shade on the pin stripe.

Damn Iv been wanting to come over and see it since the spoiler was done! Looks great!! On your heat shield, Ill bring you some "Armaflex" insulation like for Pipes we use it with the copper lines for ACs. You can cut it and stick it on the box and it will help seal it to the hood if you want, we have plenty of it and its just laying around...if you want that is!
