Nice but I would lose the grey stripe. That's just me. Nice SC, nice color, lose the grey for a killer look. The window is nice enough without all the nascar bling (which is the grey)

Thanks. With the car being a GT1 edition it still had the factory striping on the nose, roof and hatch, so we had to continue it on the hood. We wanted to have the Jake logo ghosted into the window but nobody in Calgary wanted to tackle it.

I think I'd prefer to hide an expensive item like that from opportunistic eyes. Hell, I lock up my radar detector when I go into a store for 5 minutes. Smash and run can happen pretty quickly.

The integration into the GT1 package is very tastefully done!

I said the car was in Canada, up here they would ask politely before even thinking of touching the car.

It is a factory GT1 car, you don't lose the stripes.

I really like the profile and rise of the hood. Is it available without the window for those of us who do not have a cool blower to show off?
