Not much driving lately with all the rain. To keep myself amused I ordered some stickers. Hey, it's Christmas, the Cat gets decorations too What do you think? Roof strip, keep it? yes? no? All the decals are static cling. This guy who tracks his F430 says static cling holds fine for his track # even at 150+mph. Going to let it dry overnight and test it out on the freeway tomorrow. I thought about doing a hood strip but I don't think the F-Type looks good with hood strips (but then I've only seen one example, the factory bicycle carrier).

 

That would be a NO from me...sorry.

 

now that I look at the red strip more, I think red is too much. I might try a white one so it flows with the hood better before making "final" decision. Seeing it's a $16 I can try it out a few times

 

LOL, just realized I've been saying "strip" instead of "stripe". Must have Vegas on my mind

 

one last one, had some left over vinyl. horizontal stripe across the front fascia?

 

Needs more leapers.

 

you mean like this?



or this?



it's slow around here

 

LOL!!

Photoshop or do you have a binder full of those things?

 

I ordered 100x 2.5" leapers and 100x 3" puma (bulk discount). Next Bay Area meetup I'm giving them out to all Jaguar fans

 

Somebody has wayyyy too much time on their hands!

 

You took the exact words right out of my mouth! In my opinion - although like just about everything else, it's merely personal taste - you're messing with a great thing.

I concur, "NO"

Happy Holidays.

 

I think I'd pass on that. Love the leapers though.

 

Ian Mccallum gonna put a hurt on you......

Sometimes nothing is best = don't mess with perfection.

 

Add me to the "No" group unless you track the car and this is its racing attire. Only the real Project 7 model should have the "7" logo unless, again, that is your track number. The leapers are cute though.

 

Yes, I'm a "no" too. The meatball looks good, but only for HPDEs. Definitely lose the red stripe, the leapers, and the extra "seams" you've created on the nose.

 

It looks like a school of minnows. I don't object to the red stripe as long as it's temporary and short term. Why not have some fun with it?

 

The meatball is actually the primary reason I ordered the stickers, looking for good track number beside blue tape. Even though the F430 guy tracks his car about 20 times a year, I'm still incredulous that static cling will hold. carstickers . com saw my ordered and explicitly warned me that static cling wasn't for outside applicable. But decided to test it out.

 

The red stripe is a temporary tester. Ultimately I wanted something like this



but I think because of the black hood louvers a red hood stripe would make the hood look too busy. I suppose I could try to paint the louvers white.

 

They will hold well over 100 mph if installed correctly by misting the back side and removing the air bubbles with a plastic squeegee. Did a number of HPDEs in my Lotus and Z06, and I never lost a meatball or class sticker.

 

Thanks, good to know. That's what I did, mist the surface with water, put the decal on. Didn't have a squeegee so I just hard pressed the water out. Don't think I did too good a job, can still see some small bubbles. Hopefully they're dry out.
