New stripes (black/silver on red)

Finally had some stripes put on - sorry it's a bit dirty. The logo is something my wife and I cooked up goofing around. We're having the logo put on a couple of polos for the Indy event. Yeah, I know, we're weird...

I like this a lot. Very cool adding the silver stripe even tho you have a black trid. It looks classy and the logo shows your spirit as a couple. Nice!

I was about to say they look great....oh what the heck...they look great!!

Sure enough though, the first thing that caught my eye was the stripes being inverted on the rear or front - whatever way you look at it. That's enough to drive a person with OCD crazy!

Robert, very cool! You can send those photos to Walter at the Indy smart center - he's collecting photos of cars with stripes for some reason.

Looks Good, I like it.

I like the Logo also; years ago when we were racing karts our team name was "Fast Ass Racing Team" we were known as team F.A.R.T.

You know, I hadn't even noticed myself and it was not by design. The front is correct per my instructions, but the rear is reversed. I may have to pay the vinyl shop a visit.

While I'm on the subject, I asked the guy to put the vinyl up the engine/exhaust vent holes on the top of the bumper, but he didn't want to do that because of the heat loosening the adhesive on the vinyl. Anyone else have an opinion on whether that is a real issue? I would imagine vinyl on a black car in the summer would get darn hot.
