Default After market strips

I just ordered an 08 GT Premium in the new vapor color. I am interested in putting the lemons over-the-top strips on after I get the car. Does anyone have any experience with this? Should I trust the dealer to do it? Any advice? Thanks.

Its stickers unfortunately. I was as the LA car show to see Shelbys new ride and it was Amazing except for the strips. They were overlapped and not stright on the bumper. If you have the money, I would have them painted on, if not just understand noting is perfect.

if your going to go to a dealer you will get ripped off bigtime

the way to do it is go find the guy that the dealer pays to put their graphics on

just watch out for a guy in the cardealerships (you'll have better luck if you watch the used car lots) putting stickers on the side of a car, and when you see him get his number

he will do it for about a fourth of the cost a dealership will want, and if you have a dealership do it they will just pay him to do it anyway

Alot of sign and banner stores will make exactly what you want. For a nominal fee they should even install it.

Also ask a body shop. They would know who applies decals and window tint too.
