On another note... I think white rim stripes would look pretty sexy... hell, even silver wouldn't look too shabby. I've been thinking about doing mine for a long time... but I may have seen something else that may persuade me another way... the lure of powdercoating. (Which, by the way... might be something to add to the pole... something like powder coating the rims white? Too much?)

ugh...i put them on mine and i have gotten nothing but compliments...that being said...i REALLY wish i would have gotten precurved as they did not go on as well as i would like....the stretching and pulling is frustrating...plus you can't get them 'exact' and i am having some bubbling issues on one edge....so i love the look, not the application...i am going to try and use a hair dryer to heat em up and press out the bubbles which if that works, it will look a TON better....
if i had my way....(and i will probably do this later)...i'll have the rimstripes painted on with reflective paint....that way i know they will be permanent with no pealing and will be perfect...
soooooo...i say 'sort of yeah'....haha![Wink](https://cbrforum.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif)

Have you seen what they would look like with photoshop? I would do that first if you are un-sure. This is always a question for me with my bikes as well. Especially when you have to go with another color then red. I think it will look good, but I would like to see it done on a photoshop first. Atleast that's what I will do when I get my new plastics.
