Looks great, but I would have had the stripes continue down the rear bumper.

What color did you go with?

The entire car was sanded down, and the stripes were painted on. Four coats of wet-sanded clearcoat were then sprayed on (you can't feel the stripes at all). I was attempting to match the smokey gold colour on the bike, but Harley seems to be extremely secretive with paint codes. I ended up matching the colour with a BMW chip. It's very close in direct sunlight but turns more silvery-greyish in indirect light. Unfortunately I'll have to check the file from the shop because I can't remember the colour's name right now. I left the rear bumper that way cause I was planning on doing the "COBRA" in vinyl, I'm just not sure yet. Cost about $3,000 CDN.

Looks super, but I agree the stripes would look better carried over the rear bumper since you did it over the front. Nice job!
