Default Did I make the right choice?
Well I finally put on the stripes I have had sitting in the box for 3 years. I liked the car the way she was, but I kinda needed a change. So do you think I should pull the stripes off or keep them on? Also not too hard of a job for my first time putting vinyl on a car. Just took my time and only got one really bad spot. <- My excuse is, I was drunk at the time! Remember this one is my DD.
