    I'm all about the cool factor. I envision that as a tag at the last 3/4 of the quarter panel. Like what Alpina did with there solid stripe on the E12 only not as wide.
    Start with a double pinstripe in the stock position. as the gold stripes break onto the quarter panel add a small break, then a block over a slash then start increasing the size. The tag could easily move up to cover 1.5" without over powering the lines of the car. The open blocks will help keep it suttle.
    Cool Deco patten. I like the deco lamp shade patterns too. Ya, I'm out there...

    Default Try prototypes first, then go for it

    I like the idea of the stick-on prototypes. You can try many variations and get something you are happy with. If you are up for the abuse, you can post pictures. . .

    I wouldn't do it on my car, but sometimes you have to do what you have to do.

    To each his own, if you like it go for it. Don't ever expect to recover the cost though, in fact the inverse will be true.

    I would have to agree, but I think I would be lolling too hard.
