looks great. I just had mine done too. I love old school striping. It's a dieing art form. I am trying to learn how, but its tough.

The striping was $400, the lenses were $40.

A little steep, but seeing it in person you understand why. I love it.

the gridlines are probably from a wax or stabilo pencil. It wipes right up after the paint is good and cured.
