M5 vs. Custom Paint

Another question ... it is street legally to paint my car as shown in the picture bellow? I'm asking about that red stripe and the blue on front-left corner ...

One more question ... if your car will be red (let's say imola red or electric red) what color you will paint the red stripe and what color the blue corner?
Just take a look at that picture please ...

Yeah it's legal. We used to call it a "gift wrap" back in the day, as you would do the front corner and the opposite rear corner. As for the colors, if you used a different shade of red along with the 2 shades of blue, it might work. But it's gona be hard to pull off with your car being red. You could get some scrap pieces of vinyl from a sign shop and do some test to see if it'll work. Try it out. Sign shop would be my guess on getting the material needed for this mod. Post pics.

Very nice. I wouldn't do it to an E-39 though.
