Where are you located? It's just vinyl, pretty much any car detailer who can apply any sort of vinyl striping or graphics to a car can do your stripes. My dealer actually had a local vinyl guy do my sport stripes when I ordered them.

Try this link for a few examples in the Dallas area:

Bummer! I'd do them for $40 if you have the vinyl here in NC

 

Cooper Flags was out of the shop for about a week or so. Might want to write [email protected] Thats usually the best way to get a response.

 

$35 in STL

I'll go $35...but I'm 3 hours closer to Dallas than Lotsie!

Seriously though, as stated before most detail shops should be able to help you. Depending on the style you want, it could be pretty easy to do it yourself. There are lots of folks around here who can give you tips and advice.

Either way, good luck and be sure to post pics when it's done!

 

Around here, not sure if $35, but the local Clear Bra installer is a master with vinyl as well. Might want to try that route

 

There a number of "DIY"'s on stripes. You might want to check them out.

I have one somewhere. Took about an hour to remove and re-install new ones. At $35 not bad pay

The threads I saw would not scare me to try it. If you get the high quality stuff it actually lets some of the air escape through the stripe. Now attempting a full roof graffic is another story. :nonod:

You can also think about going to MOTD 9 in April. There was a vender there last year selling and installing.

If your just doing "standard" ( whatever that is anymore ) bonnet and boot stripes the install is pretty easy. Clean area very good. Alittle liquid soap in a water filled spray bottle, spray one side of bonnet, lay one stripe on it upside down, peel the backing paper/film off,( be careful not to let vinyl fold over and touch sitcky to sticky side. Water on bonnet is to help hold it down so this doesn't happen ) spray sticky side of vinyl, flip it over and position it how you like it.. Take a squeegee, or credit card covered with a clean cloth and squeegee from the middle towards one end then do the other..Go over it a few time to get all water/bubbles out Take a few measurements from edge of bonnet, and the windshield spray nozzle and or anything else to help duplicate the other side.. Once it dries some, trim or fold around edges of bonnet or grille that it touches..
The soapy water lets you move it around before it really sticks.. so use all you want...
Any bubbles that reappear should be water that will dry out..

 

N2, if you can write this up it would be a good addition to the Library. Pictures would add to the DIY.

 

I wanted to apologize for the communications issues we've been having lately. There were some changes made in the middle of October, and since then not all messages have been getting through to us.

As of this morning the issues have been fixed, and everything is back to running normally. I am in the process of responding to messages in the order they came in; however, if you have tried to get a hold of us and don't hear from me today or have any concerns, please e-mail me directly at [email protected].

Again, I apologize for the inconvenience and thank all of you for your patience.

Thank you,
