Stripes?
Ok... thinking of going all Shelby on my car.
Anyone got recommendations on places to install some vinyl stripes?
Any idea of what I can expect to pay? Thinking of anywhere from 8"-10" wide silver with a 1"-2" gap.
As an interested party in Team Cheap Bastard, help a fellow CB out!
Don't know about cheap bastard... but...
You can't go wrong with Larry Everitt at ProTape Signs & Graphics in Carrollton
He's done several Miatas (including mine) this year. Expect around $250 for a full length stripe, less if you stop at the tops of the bumpers.
I would imagine stripes are a bit tougher on the NA's due to that damned body crease.
That's the rumor...Originally Posted by Treibenschnell
Larry did my car... 1 8" stripe with a 1" gap and two 1 1/2" stripes down along side it.
Love the way it looks... Gunmetal grey goes great with the Splash Green Mica on my 03.
Price was a little over 4 & a quarter... because I used up more material and also had it wrapped from under the front to under the rear of the car... and around the wing.

Here is a site that tells you how to do it yourself that is if you are a charter member TCB.http://www.eunos.com/keith/stripes/how-to.html
Personally, I'd buy the vinyl and stripe it myself. I've helped lugnutjon stripe a couple of his past bitchin' Camaros, and it isn't hard. You just have to be patient. That, and invest in a heat gun.

...and a good squeege. I'm going to assume that placing stripes is similiar to placing vinyl decals... use alot of soapy water?
Give the man a cookie.

Congrats again, Altiain, I made the Dean's This Guy Really Shouldn't Be Here Anymore List.
Try Afterthoughts Auto or email Jon W. at leadfootjon at yaaahoooooo dot com. Afterthoughts Auto sells a lot of vinyl, and can probably get you what you want at a good price. Jon's sister is the owner.
