Replacing my racing stripes - know where to buy them?
Hi guys, in the next few weeks I plan on replacing the racing stripes on my car. Do any of you know any reputable websites where I could buy new stripes? I looked around online and found 2 sites that look pretty ok:
http://www.rallystripes.com/
http://www.edecals.com/
I know I could also buy them on eBay or Amazon, but I don't want to go that route. I could go to a dealership to replace them but I don't want to spend $500.
Any help is appreciated. Thx

I've ordered stripe kits from http://www.baltimorestreetmods.com/ in the past and have been happy with them. 3M stripes are highly recommended. Buy a cheap hair dryer too as that will help immensely when removing the old stripes. Plan on doing it over a weekend to get the old ones removed as they are going to adhere like crazy. Last thing is get some goo gone (i've heard WD40 but I dont like the smell and you'd have to use a lot) for when adhesive sticks to the paint.
Your car looks great btw.

I haven't had to deal with buying stripes but I have heard from a few people about Baltimore being good like wcgman said.
I personally would not use goo gone though, I used it to remove some 3M adhesive on my car and I couldn't get anything to stick afterward even after repeated cleaning.. I had to use WD40 after removing my spoiler and it worked just as well.

OP-What kind of stripes on you going to get? Same color and style?
