Well it went from an offset racing stripe to dodge SRT fender stripes really quickly after a disaster of vinyl on my hood... but ya know, I kinda like it.
What do you guys think?

Yeah it was going to be an offset stripe down the entirety of the passenger side of the vehicle but the. Backing paper stuck to the vinyl and it was extremely visible Was practicing with the scraps and feel like it could be a lot worse but nice to get some practice

Agreed, it could do with extending on to the bonnet.
Also might mess with your OCD now, but is it actually parallel to the angle of the crease in the wing?

It’s your car so it’s only if you like it. Agreed though, needs to be parallel to the wing crease!

Have you thought about going a bit more retro?
EDIT - just had a thought, I wonder what the wife would think of this?

I do like what they did with the z on the bottom there. Never really seen anything like that done before and whoever installed it is surely talented.
The smart car made me laugh though they always will. Those things are hilarious.

I quite like the sense of humour to basically turn a Smart Car into the A Team Van
But I suspect it would be lost on your average person as I now make references to the 80’s at work & find I’m in an ever diminishing select group that get my references

A big Mustang, Cobra or GT 40 can deal with a bold stripe but that’s about It !s
