I was thinking about doing the gray stripes thing... similar to this one: http://www.velocityjournal.com/image...g18111400m.jpg

Do you think I should? How much does it cost? I also want the side stripes too.. like the car link above.

I think they both look good. Its up to you. I think your car will stand out a little more with the stripes or without. Stripes do make it more unique.

Heres some questions.

1. vinyl or paint.(vinyl is like a plastic material and it will look exactly like painted, as a matter of fact vinyl can be more popular than painted stripes. Why? well if you dont like it it can come off. Painted is on and thats it it.

2. Are you gonna do it yourself? or professionals. I recently found out that professionals charge WAY to much were talking 100s for stuff people have done at home. I got a price the other day for stripes..they wanted 500 dollars. So maybe you should read up on the installation and take a weekend and try it.

3. i messed up my first time horrible. so i took what i had left and practiced and i did a darn good job. It has to be done right for it to work.

4. Looking to buy the stripes? well heres some places

www.baltimorestreetmods.com -everyone here will tell you there the best for this and even have good customer service. I dont know i really cant afford there kits but if i did have the money i would.

I got mine from here www.colebrothers.com decent i guess. Im gonna order again and do my car right.

also LEARN from my mistakes READ EVERYTHING not just one guide. All of them.

If you have anymore questions let me know.

oo forgot to say nice car btw. I really like the interior.

What ever you do, stripe it with tape first. If you like it, take it off and have it painted on. I like the silver.

You are in EXACTLY the same spot I was in 2 months ago...Before, After, everything! I could not be happier with the results, as my sled is a real head turner now! I went with vinyl stripes, and got them done professionally, along with the other mods.

just go to a sign shop and ask them if they can make you some stripes, and put them on yourself.

Should look great and if you get it all painted and cleared so you feel no ridges with transitions with the stripes I would guess about 2500-4000 dollars. You get what you pay for and in the end you will not regret it! I paid 4500 dollars for paint and clear of the stripes and the rest of the kits parts! Hope it helps J
