Not much work done over the holiday. Been playing with a roll of masking tape a bit. Rally / racing stripes are somewhat frowned upon in the Z4 community and playing with tape up close and personnal it's easy to see why. While a traditional strip looks great on the new Mustangs and Camaros, they just don't work well on this car IMHO.

I love deeper shades of red like this too.



Unlike the Camaro and Mustang, the Z4 basicly doesn't have a straight body line anywhere. The body lines much more closly resemble those of a C6 Corvette and I found something that I think really works well for the Z4... At least on the hood, I'm still working on the rear.







It's easy to see the difference between using straight lines and actually following the curve of the edge of the hood and fender. Yes there is that much curvature there. All of the those small pieces of tape are the same distance from the edge.





Or....... Should I just throw away the rule book and go for it.
