Title: RAVE ON STEVE!!!!
Post by: RiquiScott on July 06, 2007, 12:20:08 PM
Part two of Fiona/Wonder Woman's exterior mod review.

So you have seen the new stripes which are pretty awesome and you have probably read the rant on Mighty Stripes .. now for the redeeming factor!!!!

STEVE RAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Given that the stripes came on about 16 different sheets, nothing was pre-spaced and the stars on the blue stripe are punch outs - the instillation of the stripes was going to be a real b*tch. Scott checked around and Angela had recommended this guy Steve. Scott called him and set up an appointment, Steve was more than willing to work around all the crazy schedules we had going at the time which was awesome of him.

The install took about 4 hours - yikes (for him, I felt so bad!) but he did an absolutely meticulous and perfect job. he wrapped every edge, took off every grill, scoop and the trunk handle to lay the stripes under them rather than cutting them to stop at the edge of the various pieces of trim. Not a bubble, a wrinkle, a flaw anywhere - absolute perfection. The spacing of the various stripes matches down to the nano-meter all the way around -just PERFECT!!!

I cannot say enough good about Steve. Given the length of time and the difficulty of the pattern, the price cannot be beat. When he was done he told Scott the price for install would be $150. Scott, haveing sat and watched the install said no way, that's too cheap and gave him more, lol.

If you need stripes, call Steve, he is the BESTEST ever!!!!

Riqui,
I saw your new stripes on your MINI today when we down at ODU picking our son up from sailing camp.  WOW!  I can't get over how great it looks.  Very nice and very unique.  No mistaking that MINI at all now.  - larry

Hey I got made a Parade Supervisor!  That sounds a lot better than a Contibutor.  :-)  Thanks to whoever made the change!  - larry

Thanks!!!

Yeah, Monday-Friday sometime after 10 and before 4 you can see Fiona in all her glory in that same lot, in that same parking space.

Thanks for the compliment, glad everyone loves it as much as I do!


Peace,
R.

LOL - uh, okay. I'll try ... cameras and me (no matter what side of the lens I am on) not such a good combination. I can't take a decent picture to save my life (again, no matter which side of the lens I am on! There are maybe 4 pictures of me in existence that I don't outright despise.)

I'll see what I can do ... no promises and no time table, but I'll try.

Peace,
R.
