Yup, here's mine - had the hood repainted, BB stripes painted on, and clear overall - smooth as glass:

Hey where do you think I can get the vinal decals, not painted on.

Do I have to have them custom made or is there a place that sells a kit
For my friends pewter car, preferably charcoal stripes!

Curious where you got your nostril plates? How hard to take off stock ones and put those on?

I like!

The nostril grilles are clear anodized billet aluminum. They were purchased from HPA Performance, who, unfortunately are no longer in business. I haven't seen them anywhere else.

The fender grilles are matching.

Easy to remove stock grilles - just need a Torx screwdriver to take out the (2) screws that hold em on.

i did mine myself... its actually not that hard its just alittle time consuming to make sure they are straight and how you like em... id get a few pics of the real bb stripes and work off that... i based my whole hood black then taped the stripe and based that and pearled it... then i cleared over everything ... makes hard lines so i sanded most of the hard paint lines out and recleared it now its pretty smooth... im very happy i chose to do this rather than decals... if you paint it do an original color like i did a red pearl from mazda just to make your car stand out a little from the pack... good luck with yours guys...
