Keep it coming
I tried one door with BMF but the stripes were so thin, I wasn't able to get them straight. The decals are prettey good, cause beteween the 2 silver stripes there's a clear stripe. So if you put the decals smooth on the bodypanels, you got some nice straight striping. They are not chrome unfortunatally but I think they are still looking good.

The airvents on the back, and the chrome trim at the underside of the doors are done with BMF because it was much easier to do.
