I got mine from www.decalshoppe.com for $70.00 and they were great. I prefer the wet method because you can move them around all you want until you get them just right then squeegee them dry.It really was pretty easy. I just took mine off after 1 year and they were still in great shape. Time for a new look so I'm ordering my new ones this week.
Give it a shot...worst case your out $70 and you learned something.

I've been doing considerable research on vinyl stripes for my 05 new-to-me Mustang GT - probably way more research than I should. I found a lot of vendors who would like to sell me really great looking stripes at a reasonable price, but.... the stripes are made of "calendared" vinyl.
From what I've been able to find out, cast vinyl will look better longer. It seems like most stripe vendors are using calendared, because they can be price competitive, even if the quality is below what most people think they are getting.
Based on the recommendations above, does anyone know if they sell cast vinyl stripes? Or, does anyone have other recommendations?

Just got an e-mail from Rob. He is having issues with Ford so the sight is down until things are ironed out. His ebay store is still up and you can e-mail him at rob@baltimorestreetmods.com

Does anyone know if his "3M Graphics Film" is cast or calendared? I've posed the question to him twice with no answer.
My guess is, his troubles with Ford are putting a strain on his business and that's why no reply.

So, is he able to fill new orders? Must be a problem with how he was using Ford's logos and/or trademarks on the web site, then.
