    Is the lettering correct? It looks thin to me..is it on the door or the fender?
    Either way, it looks awesome!!!!

    OK thats all I noticed the center of the e and a but I thought it must be something much worse. I think someone is being too fussy with a great lookin car.:thumbs2: Half the general public doesnt even know what kind of car it is. Take a real purist to pick up on a stripe issue.

    The stripe seems to be a bit too bright as well. Ive seen quite a few of few of those lime stripes, keep your eye out for a piece of NOS stripe and compare. The original picture of your car shows the side stripes and hood stencil to have about the same amount of fade, the side stripes do fade out a little bit. If original stripes were on car...the best way to see a part of the stripe that doesnt get sun is in the door jamb too

    Heres an original Stripe Notice how much duller the green is.... the stripe matches the rear tail panel too... For future refernce Phoenix Graphics should know that that stripe is wayyy to bright.

    Well, i had to send them a sample of my original stripe, the closest they could come to was the green i have, so i THOUGHT, might be right, maybe my OLD decal is sun faded and THIS is what it looked like new.
    Now im getting kinda dissapointed, the more i look at it.. :rant2:
