Wow that is beautiful. If I had a white car I would totally do the stripe down the hood.

The actual looks good too but I really dig that stripe.

Exactly. I think it would look great like that.

Ok so I redid the plasti job and brought it to the bottom of the side mirror. This is how I'm going to have it done. The problem with this is I can't get the line to curve with plasti-dip. Once I have my bodywork guy work on it he will make sure it is perfect, and follow the lines of the hood----->side mirror. Other than the fact that its not 100% lined up, I'm happy with it and will be getting it painted gloss black, to match the gloss of the paint and the windows/windshield. Once painted like that it will be more subtle like the GT-R and stick out a lot less than the matte finish of the plasti-dip.

This angle is the best IMO. Looks mean from the back/side angle.

Good job Carey. You're making me want to try this. Especially since it just comes right off if you mess up.
