The only good news is it is easy enough to remove so I'll probably run this for a couple of months and then re-do the stripes if I like them. Otherwise, I'll take them off. Decal was $80 and Plastdip was $15 a can and it only took 1/2 can per side, so 1 black and 1 glossifier. But again, I would skip the gloss next time. Was it worth the $100? I think so - it was a good learning experience and the car now looks different than the rest.
Not too sure about the R8 stripe, but the logo looks great! Where did you get the logo decal?
