There's one by me, I see the car once in a while it's very nice. He has all the records and such for it as well and in excellent condition... He has the burgundy interior with pearl white exterior.

The pic of the red car is a graphic made by the maker of the stripes I have sitting waiting to go on the car... they are pewter.. he made 2 sets for his personal car, then sold the car and put the second set of stripes up for sale!

One day my car will be finished, painted, and get the stripes..

I plan on having my car painted the original white, but I'm wondering if flat white stripes might look nice.

Order some Vinyl and put the stripes on before paint to see how it looks..
Matte finish premium vinyl stripes 96 inches long and your choice of width are available from $32 a sheet (number of 96 inch long stripes per sheet vary)..

http://www.etsy.com/listing/61686780...l-decals-matte

2 sheets, in 2 different widths, should be plenty of vinyl to lay out the stripes and see the end affect!

I don't know if I have the ***** to do it, but I'm very tempted to give my silver 924S the Flying Lizard look.
