for those who hate my stripe..

flat black vinyl stripe

looks very nice on gloss black paint.

if you must have a stripe. :(

I like the stripe, but not in such a bright color. I say either a gunmetal color or flat black, the faux carbon fiber would be hard to pull off.

Did you guys know that there's a company now making adhesive rolls of real carbon fiber for wrapping or covering parts in?

or you could just take it of completely and shadowline it and look really clean.......

snoozeville. i roll deep

I am sure in CF the stripe would weigh alot less too. maybe you should CF the chrome trim too.

i have the carbon fiber applique on my b pillars of my bronzit "is" and it looks sweet. but i need to drop it cause its at stock ride height. but once i do it will look hot

I've seen that, it's fucking sick! I'm thinking of doing carbon fibre overlays on my high beams, so it looks like CF blanks. I mean I never use my highs so...

Ok,

1. The stripe is on the wrong side, it goes on the drivers side.

2. You need less contrast on such a dark car, the gunmetal would be much better

3. GF look alike decals look like shit, AND, pretending you have carbon fiber parts when you don't is pretty lame, IMHO, even if you do have real CF on your car, it's just rice to leave it bare.

OMG! After you put that carbon fiber stripe on there, go out and get some SWEEEEEEEEET pictures 'drifting' it.

the man has a good point. you may want to reconsider and make some aluminum roof flashing overlays for your stripe

fake CF? just buy a CF hood and paint it black but mask off a section so you have some CF showing.

Its your ride and while a lot of people (me included) may not care for the stripe screw them and me to. If you like it or think a gm stripe will look better try it, thats the point of modding your car is to make it your own and be different.

i kinda like the stripe, but i agree with mhurlbutjr
the stripe reminds me of the E39s in Mr. and Mrs. Smith

[Farbin Kaiber]

OIC, leading by example are we?

i dont think you can go wrong with carbon fiber. its going to give you a sporty look. it will give you a "ghost" look against the black. i think you should do it and post pics dude.

have you ever tried to wrap things? can you apply heat? i want to wrap the kidneys and maybe the door lock knobbie things but i want it to look professional. i hate it when it looks like a hack did it. id rather go without
