this pic is for Jrpimp00 and others that don't have, or may not have seen the 45th stripes up close.
The smaller pinstripes are one concern I have. As well as the gap between them. The stripe is about 1/4 inch, as is the gap betwen the pin stripe and the larger stripe.
I was just worried about the clear bra adhering well between the stripes, and not lifting or getting bubbles over time. Then there are small things like the parts of the 45 that could potentialy could be lifted if the bra had to be removed.

I think I am gonna skip the hood being covered. I wish I had wide gloss stripes now. LOL

I have the clear bra on most of my car, front fenders, hood, gills, rear bumper, mirrors, lights, front end, windshield pillars, I think thats about it.

Now when I first go the hood done, it was only about the first 12 inches and it looked HORRIBLE, the flat grey stripe was glossy at the bottom and it just looked bad. I took it bac the next day and the guy just pulled it off, I was worried it would take the pistripes off but it didn't. Maybe because it was only on for a day. Anyway the guy did the whole hood and it looks fantastic, the stripes look awesome. I found that after I washed the car I started to get swirl marks in the red stripe(This is with two bucket wash), now I have no swirl marks at all and the car looks great. If you get the hood done, get the whole hood or don't do it at all. Just my two cents.

Well got it covered up, (minus the hood)
Very happy so far, I couldn't even see the film in certain areas I had to run my finger over the edge to see if they really covered the areas. I am definately going to go back and get the hood covered next.
I'll post up pics when I can.
