All Dressed Up...

I'm about to head out to the dealership to get the stripes installed.  Black with white pin-line detailing?  Black without the pin-lines?  Glossy black?  Flat black?

Decisions, decisions.  :)



I'm back.  And I had two additional decisions to make:

  1. Bonnet stripes (kind of a 'V' shape) or racing stripes (parallel and closer together at the center of the car).
  2. They also offered a silver pin-lining option.


And here's my decision:



I decided on flat black with silver pin-lining (didn't know that was an option) to tie in the black/silver wheels.  Here's how they look from farther away:

And here's how they look with the wheels:


The silver pin-lining is a little subtle, but it works.  And I was torn between getting the pin-lining on both sides of each stripe, but the Stripes Guy (who's seen several) thought this was the way to go.  He also said that both the glossy and matte hold up well over time, but there's a bit of an edge toward the matte, as glossy tends to show scuffs and marks easier.  (He's also been installing matte about 80% of the time.)
