Is this any good

or how much would it be to have them painted on?

get em painted on

and how much would that run me?

probably about 1300 or less. one of those, it depends where you go type of thing

My car is pinstriped...you can hardly tell tho...I'd go with the pinstripe...cheaper...just not really painted on

alright, thanks guys.... i think i'll just get the ones for $37 and see how i like em, and maybe get em painted on in a year or so

that would be your best bet, that way, in case you dont like them, its a minimal loss, and can be takin off with some extra heat.

agreed, it may work well, but if you are unhappy you can always remove them

alright, i got em today... and they look great!

any tips for putting them on?

What do you do to take those type of racing stipes off? will it peel the paint with them? i am considering getting the same stripes as iceman but i dont want to if they are not going to be easily reversible

make a series of markings to follow one edge with. measure many times, nothing worse that measureing once and being off. then youll get done and have one headed toward a mirrior! DOH! Also, use a soap and water combo, im not sure of the ratio. But apply that to the surface about to get the stripe, this will allow you to move it a bit. then useing something frim, but delicate, scrape along the stripe to get air bubbles and extra water and soap out.

as for getting them off, usually a heat gun and a little time gets them off. Depending on how long they were on, the paint around them may have faded a bit. Wash, polish, and wax till your arms fall off and it might hide it a bit.

the problem with stripe kits instead of paint is that most people say they are "temporary" and then leave them on almost forever. when they finally decide to take them off, the rest of the car has faded so the stripe marks are still visible.

so the whole time they were kidding themselves about the "temporary" idea, they were just taking the cheap way out for an inferior look. always better off painting them on

not trying to flame anyone here, just giving my opinion...and you know what they say about those

they do look ok but if it was me, i wouldnt put them on the roof!!

i thought not to put them on the roof at first... so i did the rest of the car first.... and i didnt like how it looked

I don't think I would have the patience to put racing stripes on a car. I know that after I do it that I would notice that it would be a hair off, and would notice it. The stripes on your car look great though by the way.

my car was actually one of the cars that stripes first came on and when I re-painted it (and mine were painted on the right way too), I got rid of them because they are so overdone these days...and they belong on my car from the factory

i considered something on the sides, but ill prolly just use the IROC decals on the sides. Looks sharp

when u get em on let me know how they look thats cheap and i might think bout doing it

just a thought, and I'm not trying to be mean here but, after seeing your car in your sig picture, don't you think you should take care of a couple of other body problems before you put plastic stripes on your car?

if not, you will be turning into one of those people that others look at and just say to themselves "why?" because they will start thinking that you are one of those people that just tries to do every possible cheap thing to their car without taking care of the important stuff first

My stripes are vinyl, I have recieved nothing but compliments. Plus you can change them out for different color one later. In reality the painted ones do look better. But the difference is not THAT much. Plus the vinyl is so much easier to maintain than paint! And vinyl is always semetricly (think thats spelled wrong) correct.

check out the sig. I love my 35th stripes and they came out perfect. Get them professionally installed though!
