Since the car has made it well into the high 10's I felt it had earned its stripes. Not too bad overall, and still have to tell the wife (sitting in the garage with the door closed). I think it really has given the car some attitude.

Thanks guys. I was a little apprehensive but it appears to have turned out as well as I hoped. Even Chris91's daughter accepted it after beating me up for selling "her green mustang" LOL! Appreciate the kind words 1baddlx. Having never had children is the only reason I have the car I have. I'd still be driving an Escort otherwise! LOL!

Thanks guys. Stripes always make me think of this old Keebler cookie commercial.

Looks good. Are those vinyl stripes? Always debated on vinyl or painted stripes.

Yes. I was looking at them closer today and the finish has quite a few imperfections for some reason. I am heading back to the guy Monday which is my next free day with no rain to get it back to them to look at. I wanted them to use 3M but he was sold on this other brand which has tons of quality issues in it once upon on it. I'm wishing now i had just taken the money and paid the extra to have them painted on, but that is so permanent and if this had looked hideous I could have just peeled it off.
