The stripe is installed incorrectly.

The "Daytona" letters should be centered top to bottom over the body line.

The "Daytona" letters are too low.

The stripe is not centered under the wing upright.

Too much stripe showing behind the wing upright, and it

appears that the front of the wing upright extends past the front of the stripe.

I think it looks good also.  It's to bad there's so many guys here that all have concourse 1,000,000 point cars.  Compared to what it was to start, I think it turned out awesome and far exceeded what I was paying for.  I never wanted or will ever want a show piece that I can't drive, thats just not for me.  It's to bad that people want to knock something as soon as they see it.  The shine on this is to bright, the shine on that is too dull, the finish on this piece was wrong.  Well the rear end was powder coated, Mark and I talked about painting it, but I decided, with his advice, since it wasn't going to be a concourse car to powder coat it.  It's more durable, and after I wipe it down a few times, it will dull down.  You don't like it - tough shit! The exhaust hangar is being taken care of... something already planned BEFORE people chimed in.  As far as the stripe that I helped install, perhaps I pulled a little to hard to get it to adhere and it got a little low, but I'm sure ALL Daytonas were identical.  As far as the tilt and centering - you're WRONG. I went off the photos I have of the car.

If people want my car to be perfect, feel free to send me some money and I'll make it just as you want. Otherwise, kiss my as.

If you're happy with a crooked stripe...

Good for you.  ;)

By the way...

I was just trying to be informative. :shruggy:


Here's the stripe on your car before it was sandblasted and primered by the flippers,

Please note that the letters are centered top to bottom over the body line. :Twocents:

Like my dad used to say "if you didn't have the time to do it right the first time, when will you have time to do it right the second time."

Guess my eyes are bad, looks sort of centered to me and the "tilt" appearance might be caused by the dipping body contour of the bottom body line of the quarter. Tom, out a GearVendor, then you can drive it more with less fuel.
