Nice wheels!! I personally love that the stripe in the front is asymmetrical and not smack in the middle. It really gives it a unique and personal look!

Thanks Rocan91, let me tell you it was not easy trying to get the vinyl to stretch right on that curved front hood and keep the lines straight. I must have pulled it off 20 times... I got the idea from some photos of car clubs in Germany.

Nice. I haven't seen that done before and I'm sure a lot of us haven't so you'll get some stares as people by. I know I'd give it a double look--if not a triple look! It's really nice on the eyes (I am an artist so I have studied visual composition) and breaks up the symmetry on the bug in a nice way.


And I hear ya! My eyelash decals took forever and they're not even one fourth the size of your stripes! But the hard work shows in your decals!

Nice stripe. Half the reason I painted mine on is because of the curves that are a PITA to get straight lines with vinyl. Nice job on the powder coating.
