Those look great. Glad you were happy with the quality. The sample I had was pretty metallic looking. I guess I'll stop calling them metallic. Sorry about that.

Yeah, I just checked them against a piece I had left over from my old stripes and your's are not metalic. Still very nice though like I said. Thanks again

i wanna see pics of this - this is the approach i want to use on mine.

have you seen taco bill's install? i wonder if this is what he did, because his stripes seem "shorter" than the ones i received and the pics in this thread.

The stripes I did last year only went to the door, because that's what people decided. I thought I would do something different this time and go the full rocker length, like the SN95 Mach 1. But I made the fade start in the middle, so people could trim them how they want. You can cut them off at the door or even install them in the GT/CS spot.

that makes sense.

when i took my first crack at it i installed them the entire length of the rocker panel, but with my next set i'm going to only run to the door.

can't wait to get 'em!

I printed up the label and boxed them up this morning. Hopefully my girl took them to the post office today. I'll let you know tonight.

Much better. But since you have shorter tires in the rear, you definitely should at least drop the rear a bit.

Yep I know but the Razors I got have new GT500 spec on Offset: +24mm + extra 2mm The tires go outside the body line so I am afraid that when I will drop that it will start rub the body
Need to find if anyone tried to drop car with that new razors +24 spec.

I don't know of my +24 offset Razors are the new +2mm or not, but I have the Steeda Ultralights and there is no rub at all.
