Put my heritage stripes on last night

Put my stripes on last night, there are some bubbles that I have to get out, and some little areas that are lil messed up, but over all they look great. Cant see the problems in pics, or driving by, I need paint in the next year or two anyway, so Im happy.

Heres the front

I like your car alot. I would however change one thing and that would be to black that grille out to match the stripes. Also where exactly are you in PA, Im from central PA maybe we can meet up sometime.

Ditto on the black grill. That would set it off just right. Looks funny like it is.

Bravo, Job well done

Have you thought about head/taillight covers for that car? I'd be willing to bet that they'd look sweet now with the black stripe

The stripes look good, but I agree with the others that the grill would look better black.

They may, but for some reason I am against them on my car, I kinda like the headlight covers on camaros, but wouldnt do it to my own, and I think the tail light covers are to much black since it goes all the way across.

I do want to tint the windows though, that will happen some day when money is in a better situation.

Poor guy.

He did a pretty cheap (I think?) appearance mod that made his car look good, btw they look awesome. And now all he hears is "Change the grill, tint the windows... etc"

Heh, our cars are never done are they?
