Cuerva,
Why did you go with stripes that don't follow the curve of the front of your hood line. It seems like you should have followed the curve along the front of the stripes to match the hood or at least be at a relative angle to the hood. I don't know if it's just me but they look kinda off being closer to the edge of the hood on the outside corners. I just got finished doing my "true ghost" stripes and will post pictures tomorrow after I can wash the car for the first time. Which leads to another question. Can you see those stripes from all angles or only when the light is hitting them just right? I like the contrast but wonder if they disappear.

The stripes on my truck are nearly invisible and become barely visible only at certain angles and depending on how lighting hits the pearls on them, making them GHOST STRIPES. As you can see on the picture, there's areas you can't see them even standing right in front of them.
