      Re: racing stripe. . .

      Another question about a rally stripe. How would an offset stripe look going all the way through the rear window? (I'm alternating colors as it passes through different backgrounds anyways). I don't think that will block my view that much, I'm only concerned that it will get wiped off by the rear window wiper... I'm not sure how it would look too either since I can't seem to find any images of it online except for mustang's with louvers, but that's not quite that either.

      I don’t think change the color of the strip will look all that hot. It would be best to use a single color that works across the whole car. (Like Red)

      Well, it already does look good. It actually turned out better than I thought it would. Like I said, I still need to get the spoiler and the rear of the car...

      If you plan to run a stripe over a window I’d use window-tinting. That’s what I plan to do when I get my windows tinted and run a stripe over the rear window. With the stripe on the inside off the glass, you want have any issues and you can see through it.

      The only issue with that is that my windows are already 20% tinted so if I add another stripe of tint over it it won't be visible at all... Well, I'm going to try what it looks like with the stripe on the window and see where I go from there.

      That's the beauty of vinyl - you can always take it off, especially off glass.

      Precisely what I was thinking. Touche' sir.

      OK, the two color strip works and looks cool. I think, the only thing I would have done different is have the white stripe silver to match the paint. =D> =D> =D>

      I would too, LarsBud, but Autozone didn't have it in that color. None of the locals stores I checked out did either, and I wanted them to be the same kind, so I went with this. Plus it's a vinyl, so if I run into a silver one, I'll get it. For now the white one will have to match the other decals.
