What I really like is the fact that it has the black stripes removed. I really hate them as they're always falling off on mine. (Sister's)

Try ordering new clips, or use that really strong 3M double back tape (the kind with the red backing) for a cheap ghetto fix-that stuff held mine nice and strong.

This car looks really nice!!!! Mine has a long way to go, to get it looking that good. I'm from Holland, and we have a simular forum over there.
Kuklaki told us about this forum and that your cars didn't look as good as ours, but when I see these pics, I''d trade mine right away for it.
Keep up the good work!

Ok, before I get into trouble here, my comment was a gross generalization.

Yes, Steve's Cabby and a few others are an exception to the rule, and I am envious everytime I look at the pics.

if they always falling off your car, just buy new "stripholders"(?) and there are also other stripes for the cabrio. I also have different stripes... completaly chrome

Does anyone have a pic of this car?

For some reason the pics dont show up for me or have been removed.
I was reading the replies and am wondering what this car looks like.

Those pics were hosted on Steve's webspace and it looks like they have been taken done. I'll have to see if I can find some shots of his car and post them up.
