RE: matte black stripes
ive never ben a fan of the superstripe... dunno.. maybe its just bc i love the le mans duals... im thinking either 10" or 8" dual .... definately skunk style... honestly a lot like the knight rider car....however, any ohter stripe suggestions? (style wise..lol the color is pretty much set [8D])
ill prolly also get a little extra and stripe my other front fascia.. my cervinis one... this way when i get better side skirts i can switch the front end out for shows... i took it off bc its a PITA for a DD
thanks for the input guys!

RE: matte black stripes
you guys gotta remember that although flat black stripes look ridiculously awesome, they are very hard to maintain. Every little scratch will show on matte black.. so if ur car is ur daily driver, i wouldnt recommend flat black stripes

RE: matte black stripes
Be realistic guys. Whatever is going to scratch the matte stripes is something that would scratch the car if the stripes weren't there! If you're talking about little rock chips-- that'll show on any vinyl stripe. I've had my 12" dual blue stripes for a year now, and this winter, the front got some nicks to the extent that I'll replace the front. The hood, roof, rear deck and rear bumper look flawless. I've already priced redoing the front, and I can get the stripes for $35. I'll do the work myself.
If you want something, just do it. Don't let one comment change your mind. Vinyl stripes don't last forever, and the nice thing about it is that they're easily replaced and inexpensive if you do it yourself!
