[paylew]

I think I may do that on mine.

[Shiroi_ms3]

I was thinking about that too, I'm just unsure of how it would look on white.
The gray on black looks really nice tho.

[GullyBoy21]

how much was it? and from who?

[Silver Ecstasy]

Hell yeah that looks good!! Especially on black.

[Hyun]

dude let me tell you. Dark grey stripe with gun metal rim on your car would look SICK

[PCspeed3]

Very nice!

[kung fu hustle]

when i first popped this open i was cringing with the thought of a pep boys special.

this, however, is very well done. VERY good.

[Babyface13]

I did flat black on mine today.

[opt_ms3]

should someone make a sticky for a hood stripe thread? I'm doing mine tomorrow

[kung fu hustle]

better yet, a pic of the vinyl on its original backing, so i can size it up for the rear of my car. *big plans now*


..also, heres a real question... where do we get this from?

[Shiroi_ms3]

dude let me tell you. Dark grey stripe with gun metal rim on your car would look SICK

Yeah I do want to get some gun metal rims but first, I gotta wait till the wedding is all done with, so I can have some money lol.

I will think about the stripe then, I like the front the rear looks kinda weird, like a shelf or something.

[souper]

Hopefully i'll be installing my flat black ones on my metro gray this weekend. I think it will look nice.

[mckraut]

Alright, I wasn't sure how that was going to look on a Black Mica, but that's hot. How hard was it to stick on?

[GullyBoy21]

i need details! where can i get one? how much is it? is it hard to put on?

[VerusRuba]

I'd like to see it on the True Red before I purchase one... but I don't even know where I would buy it :(

[opt_ms3]

There was a guy that put up a post in the Marketplace section who was offering to make them, but it got deleted. I guess he didn't get vendor status approved?

[Hyun]

Alright, I wasn't sure how that was going to look on a Black Mica, but that's hot. How hard was it to stick on?

Very easy. Make sure you use enough soapy water to move it around to where you want it, then use squeegee to push the water out.



i need details! where can i get one? how much is it? is it hard to put on?

PM me. I will give you detail

[GullyBoy21]

Okay Where! Did You Get Them? And How Much.

[UHATEIT]

yes everyone is posting up in this thread about how they "just" did theirs, but no one says where they got them and for how much????????

[Babyface13]

If we tell you we have to kill you LOL

[controlo]

^ haha.

[UHATEIT]

it is sort of funny for there to be a whole thread abotu people putting stickers on their car tho.

Its like the FnF days when everyone rushed to put stickers on. I'd prefer not to rice mine out. however these look somewhat in the decent range. Especially the white one with the black to match the rims. Could be worth a look if I knew the price these ran.

[wisniaPl]

you guys need something on the back, looks weird with stickers just on the front

[Hyun]

^ i got back piece too. Installing soon along with photoshoot.

Im not trying to keep this secret. It's just that this board is strict on things like this and i want to keep it to PMs only if you want info.

I already provided info to many people who already have pmed me.

35 for front and 30 for back, but Im not sure

[UHATEIT]

35 for front and 30 for back, but Im not sure

that doesn't sound all that bad.

If I'm throwing a sticker on my car it would probably be gloss black vinyl over the entire roof section. I saw some douchebag on the "other" forum who did it. Wants to take credit for the idea. But I wouldn't mind doing that as I saw a black roof/center of hood on a red MS3 at my local dealership and I really enjoyed the look of that! I need to PS that crap first tho to see how it would look on a silver ms3

[Babyface13]

I didnt order the back ones because I am unsure of how they would look on my black mica. I didnt want to over-do it either.

[MP3Architect]

wow i REALLY like the white one with black stripe.

[FrequentFlyer]

Well since the thread got deleted with the info on how to order these, can anyone give me the name of the guy who makes them

[Red Blur]

Stripes look great everyone!

[08cosmic3]

Any Cosmic Blue with the stripes? What color would look good on the CB? How much and where do you get them?

[mckraut]

I'd go with black or maybe white. Not sure, I would pick out a more neutral color myself.

[wisniaPl]

I would go with purple, but i dont want it right now. My car gets to much attention anyway

[opt_ms3]

Stripes look great everyone!

lol, where did we get these? Anyone feel free to PM me for info

[dkswim]

yeah, i thought about doing that too. you should do it man. i have a sunlight silver too. i think matte black looks really good with silver and pearl white.

[bjjer]

...so I guess we are not getting an answer on where to get them? That sucks because there are guys here that really want them (not me, not my style) and I thought this community was about helping each other. Ill get off my soapbox now it was just kind of petty keeping the origin of these stickers hush hush.

[dkswim]

/forum/mazdaspeed-3-6-sale-trade/10097-gi-speed3-hood-stripes.html
enter this on the end of the .org forum guys screen name is RedMS308 he is selling for $35

[Babyface13]

Thanks D you let the secret out LOL

[dkswim]

just halfway out of bag, still have to figure 1+1=2

for sure. This is an oppurtunity for him to contact dealers nationwide and offer to make stripes for them. Cha Ching $$$$$

I just took a pic from farther away with better lighting.

Hmmm, well now I'm torn between the babyface & hyun style stripes. I do know that I am going with full stripes though, front & rear.

Hyun, how about that photoshoot? :)

[Hyun]

Installing rear today. So maybe today or tomorrow

[PCspeed3]

Those all look great. Good product!

[coololddude]

i like the short version you did. it looks much cleaner than running it the length of the hood. if people have someone in their hood that does graphics, they could do it easy and cheap.

[coololddude]

^^^^ oops, the mazdaspeed part.

[importgirl212]

I'm sorry I don't have a lot of time to read all of the ideas on here....but i have the cosmic blue...and i want to replicate the mps extreme....should i go with flat black, dark metallic gray, or cf look a like?

Thanks in advance...

I would go with baby blue or similar color with white mazdaspeed copy.

[15min5k]

Rice.

[mckraut]

Rice.

The rice is a feature due to the fact that it will actually absorb the water from any puddles and prevent hydrolock to the engine. Having said that, I'd suggest investing in some prior to your next aquatic adventure.

[Hyun]

took some just now

Nice pic, looks good man.

[Quiksilver05]

I got mine last week but I'll try to do mine this labor day weekend. Just been so busy with work and school. I got the front and back stripes in flat black and it will be on my Sunlight Silver ~Sam

[kneedragger241]

Still waiting to see the back piece...

[Hyun]

^ installing today. I might take the tail light out for easier install.

Until Quik gets his stripes on, check out AutoXRacer's thread (http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123718537) about his MPS stripes to give you a general idea of what it would look like.

[kneedragger241]

I'm beginning to think this back piece doesn't exist.

[mckraut]

Here they are on a Red MS3

Shitty pic, but a pic nonetheless. Flat black fronts on a Metro Gray GT.

love these stripes. all over these like a rash! black looks sweet

[RelliMS3]

Has anyone installed these without the "tips"? I"m talking about the ends of the decal that go on the bumper and on the fender. I'm thinking it would be a bit more subtle and might look better.

[paylew]

I actually don't have the "tips" anymore. I painted my grill and I thought it just looked stupid to have both done. I can snap a picture if you'd like.

[Anna-chan]

Who do I email for a set?

[BoostedSpd6]

i dont like the back ones.. and to be rlly original someone with an ms3 and some time should ghost paint this design in...the front looks good i like it but i think if it was ghosted, airbrushed in, it would look better especially on the black ones.

[paylew]

I've thought about doing something like that but I'm not 100% sure I want to. I've got a buddy with a complete auto body shop so I can do pretty much everything at cost as long as I prep. I may look into doing it when I touch up my grill.

[RelliMS3]

Thank you ! However I recently took off the stock hood and installed a CF hood from fiber images, and yes I put new stripes on it too.(lol2)

[john blutarski]

I wonder how a translucent color would look if that's possible... like translucent dark red on CWP

[SallySpeed3]

$35 for both stripes or is it for each? Big fan of these stripes but no idea what color would look best on a Cosmic Blue. Anyone have any pics?

[fred114]

I am not selling these, so don't quote me, 35 for the front set, 30 for the rear set. So if you just wanted the front, yes 35.00. But send him an email, he can tell you, to be sure.

[Darkdashing]

ya those prices are correct, I've been in contact w him

[Babyface13]

here ya go!

edit, found your other pics and see its the oem style....

[dkswim]

its the oem style

[SallySpeed3]

Just purchased mine today from matt, Flat black with Flat white lettering. Hope it looks good on a Cosmic Blue, didn't have any pictures to go from so we'll see. I'll make sure to post whenever I get them installed.

[Vicspeed6_AZ]

I wonder what these would look like on a speed6 :)

[dkswim]

would look cool if you could get the right angle on them all you have to do is contact the guy thats making them and see if he alredy has test fit speed 6 and if not you might get it free to try out always worth a try.

[SallySpeed3]

Really happy with how they turned out. Went with the white lettering for a little bit more pop. Hoping this helps out anyone who was thinking about getting them, because I wasn't able to find any pictures of Cosmic Blue Speed 3's with the stripes on. Let me know what you guys think

Well, now we have some pics with a Cosmic Blue. They look real nice SallySpeed!! :)
Weather is warming up here, got mine from Matt in Jan. Hope to put them on in the next couple of weeks.

[SallySpeed3]

Thanks guys. I had a problem of looking at my car too much before, but now with the stripes on it's even worse. I have a serious addiction, lol. It drives my wife crazy. Don't be like me and put your stripes on at sundown when it gets cold, I had a real problem with one of the stripes not sticking, but luckily it turned out ok. Be sure to post pics whenever you get them on.

[DublinDapper]

Emailed the guy selling these earlier in the week, haven't heard back from him as of yet.

[SallySpeed3]

I haven't hit up a car wash since I put these on, I've just been doing it myself in the driveway. Has anyone with these stripes had any bad experiences? I don't mind washing the car myself, but I'll eventually get lazy.

They will be fine. Mine are all ok and I go through the touchless at least once a week just to knock the dust off.
