    Although the white isnt movie accurate, it does look nice and lends this a nice bit of originality over the hundreds of other Sideways customs that have been done.
    I do hope you are going to add a nice coat of gloss to seal the paint once your done with the stripes? A high-end sports car like this should look like glass.

    Even though the white looks different to the movie look i like it very much. The Black and the other coloured details look great man

    overall..i'm not very satisfied with the result..i think i will try fakebusker83's technique using a wire cable/rings..

    Eh? What happened to the decals you were planning to use? I thought that would be better. The reason I didn't was because I can't find decal paper in the first place.

    I see...Well good luck then. Experiment and practice! Eventually the technique will flesh itself out. Help is here whenever you need it :)
