I agree with you but the thing is with your way, theres more of a curve and therefore more chances of bubbles appearing...also i would need to make the vinyl flush with not only my other vinyl strip but also with my window...too much precision cutting for me

i like it, gives it a really nice accent.

although i'd have to say i prefer the strip that gets narrower near the bottom, the one that follows the line of the window better, but thats jmo

I don't like the vinyl either. I think because it's not flat, and that it protrudes outwards, it makes it look awkward at any angle besides a direct side shot of the car.

But as always, to each his own!

I'm sorry but I forgot where in the thread I said my car is an r8 lol, this stripe was r8-inspired, just as many people, not just a/c owners, have had the led Audi-inspired headlights. That being said, I think I'm going to remove the vinyl...it looks semi-cool and I get a lot of looks for it, but i think it's a little too kid-ish for me.
