http://www.erareplicas.com/fia/img/front2.jpgEssentially you are following an imaginary line so as the fender flares jet out it should look as if it gets wider. It looks different depending on the angle viewed.

I believe that info is on the ERA website. If not I can get it from the manual tonight.

more stripes....
 
As *13* says above, laying the stripe out on the car is difficult to get the proportions right. It isn't just a 4" stripe accross the nose. The width has to vary over the fender flairs or it will look weird. We went in to our painters shop and laid it out ourselves to be sure. It needs to be painted on, you won't be sorry.http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...bs/cobraA1.jpg

Bill,

Are the meatballs paint too?

Aj

Yes, everything is painted. Three coats of each color and then three coats of clear on top. It was sanded between each coat of color and clear, you cannot detect an edge when you rub your hand across. All colors are 2004 VW paint codes.
