Default Stripe supplier

What is the most reliable and cost-effective company to buy stripes from? Any site sponsors with special deals or really good reputations?

Before you make a commitment with vinyl, consider having the stripes painted. Painted stripes will last a lot longer without the extra maintenance step.
If you decide to go withthe vinyl stripe, have them clear coated.

I think i'm going to go with vinyl cause it will be easier to match if i ever switch out bumpers or spoilers. But how comparable in price is having them painted?

Vinyl with pro installation is about a 1/3-1/4 as expensive as paint, the only thing with paint is that you're commited to the scheme and if any damage occurs, plan on extra costs to repaint them as well as the body(not because of the different colored paint, but because of the extra labor involved). Although I'm very content with my stripe combination and next time I'll most likely go with painted stripes(ps I got my vinyl stripes through BSM and as other members have said, Rob is top notch and you won't find a better vinyl supplier IMO).

yes,it looks better when painted.....to people know know thier stuff.

outside of a modding community most people would have no idea you use vinyl instead of paint unless they are 2 feet from the car, or touching it
