Plus it's reflective.
Was one of the first stickers I put on mine back when I got it a few years ago.

Specially since she was partially responsible for some of them... Now if I could get her to fix the fender she mashed flat.

Hi!

I first wrapped the rope around once and tied a good knot. As i started to wrap the rest i found i was able to tuck the overhang of the fist knot behind the rope. There is a gap on the handle. Once i wrapped the rest i gripped the handle squeezing it hard while turning the rope as tight as i could. Once i got to the end i wrapped the the last of the rope around and slipped it behind the before last piece of rope and then making another knot. I then gripped the handle again turning the rope even tighter. This evened out everything and sent the last knot and overhang behind the handle. Then with my fingers i pushed the knot and overhang through the rope sending it into the gap. This worked perfectly with the doors. But the dash handle has no gap so looking at it straight on it looks perfect but you can feel the knots on both ends if you are looking for them that is. But the knots are still hidden and being on each end you would never feel them...

Let me know if you catch what i am saying. If not i'll try to be more clear.
