Seen from the rear photo, the combo of the black tridion and the stripe make the smart look like a red box tied with a black ribbon around all four sides. How about a big bow for the top?

J/K... it looks great!

The picture makes it look worse than it is. I put it on in the rain too. I'll be doing a VERY SPECIAL stripe set for my parent's smart this weekend.

Yeah! that's what I want, but maybe without the "smart", just plain. How'd you do that?

A sign shop can cut it for you - you can even do a cheap "flea market" sticker guy too. Just tell them you want a stripe x" wide and x" long - with some thin stripes on either side of the wide stripe. It's simple to put on too - they'll walk you through it. If they won't help PM me.

I just threw that on and didn't do too much of a quality job. Every few weeks I've been doing something different just to mix it up. The smart on the hood has helped stop a lot of the questions as to "what is that?". Once they see smart on the front and smart on the back they get the clue. I'll be pulling this stripe off in about 2 to 3 weeks for something bigger and better that isn't a sticker.

Thanks B-b-b -

I will be looking for a local sign shop. I like that it's temporary, after all isn't everything else?

I'll pmm you if (when) I need help.

Can't wait to see what you come up with next!
