That particular image looks like a custom paint job, but I think I've seen something close to it in vinyl I think it's called a boss stripe.
go get it.

I'd question Ebay vinyl's quality...with different sellers you don't exactly know what you are getting. With that said...I have some "Different" ideas of stripes to do with my car and I will buy the stripes for cheap off Ebay just to test it out. If I end up liking it and the quality isn't up to par, I'll only be out a hundred bucks or so.

I have similar stripes on my '08. There was some on Ebay, but I think they are gone. I am still looking for someone who sells them. A bodyman told me he could duplicate them (paint them on) for $600 - $800.

I just found this on ebay. They claim to be selling 3M Professional grade vinyl.
Should i be wary or is this a good product since its much easier on my wallet than the other link someone posted

Anyone can say it is professional grade, especially on Ebay it doesn't mean a thing. Go to harbor freight and see how many tools have the word "professional" on them. 3m, as I read here, has many different grades of vinyl. Unless buying from a reputable company, it's a crap shoot.

Hey, hand tools at harbor freight carry a lifetime guarantee.
But I have to agree with the "be wary" comment for products anywhere.

Did I forget to mention I have a garage full of HF tools?

That was really my whole point, just because something says it's Professional Quality, doesn't mean it really is. I may still buy it if my life or living don't depend on it though.
