    Back in summer 07, I got some long graphics to continue down the side of the car, where the rear quarter graphics ended. I never installed them as the front tip crosses onto the front fascia. Since I knew I was installing the grip front fascia, I did not install the long stripe with the stock front fascia on the car.

    So last week, I finally rolled out the long stripes and installed them. Don't know if I will keep them on the car or not. It looks ok, but missing something now. I might have to get a set of rocker panel graphics to finish off the look.

    Before the stripe:

    When I saw Mecha's Sublime at the Spring Festival show in Cali. I liked where he added the number of his sublime to the rear door triangles. We all went to dinner one night and there was a kiosk that sold graphic. So I had some 993/1000 made right there on the spot. Thanks again Eric (Mecha) for the idea.

    Outstanding! I don't think I'd do anything on the rockers. You have the body line down there and I really like the YELLOW. You might end up breaking that up, make it look too busy and take away from the awesome look of the wheels and tires.

    Only thing I could see would be the roof line across the top of the windshield. The black trim up the A-pillar goes higher than the roof line and it sort of looks like something isn't finished. Maybe it's just the pics. Maybe if you put yellow at the top of the black trim so it's even with the roof line. Not sure what black trim across the top would look like.

    That's a magazine cover for sure.
