Okay, picture whore warning!
The stripes are on, only took about 1 1/2 hours once he got started, much of that time spent on the computer laying out the design.
I went in at 8:30 am ready to have them put on, but once he saw what I had in mind, we had to stop.
He needed his 24" vinyl, and he didn't have enough on hand to do the job.
Fortunately, he had already reordered, and more was due in the afternoon.
So I went back at 1pm, and by 2:30 it was done.
I'm very, very happy.
After looking at it I'm thinking about black rocker panel stripes.
He said he can scan any image in, so the running pony will probably be my choice.
.......unless I go off the deep end and get the Seahawks logo in the stripe.
Anyhow, here are the pictures:

I also have a windveil blue. How did he handle the vinyl around the washer nozzles?

While some stripe kits come with cutouts for the nozzles (ugh), he just removed the nozzles for install, then snapped them back on.
Very clean look.

I guess you could look at it that way.
I think it resembles a GT with a pony corral and foglight bezels.
Now if the fogs were smaller............

I myself would rather have the vinyl all one piece and then make the holes for the nozzles as he did rather than trying to line up those small holes and get it to lay over them...
The chrome trim rings around the fogs does make them look quite a bit larger than the actual headlights. I wouldn't hesitate on making them black IF it were my car, but it does add that "old school" style to it

Yep, wider IS better. Did I just quote a Pontiac ad? Oh crap, I'm sure to banned from the site now! Seriously, looks good on the car, but do the rockers too.

How about putting a black overlay on the fog lights? How would that look?

I have the same bezels/corral on my '07, and it's the first thing everyone comments on. Everyone loves it in person. My dad always laughs though, because it was the first thing they took off their cars in the 60's.

Unfortunately, we can't ban members for being negative and self-opinionated.

Can we tell them to crawl back into the hole they crawled out of?

LOL, I didn't even notice his comment until you guys quoted it.
I must have him on "ignore".
As usual in regards to his posts, I could eat a bowl of Alpha-Bits and crap out a better comment.
