Forget the white or light grey ... go with either black, or Satin Silver.

Had Satin Silver stripes put on my vert a couple weeks ago, and it looks great.

Hope to have updated pics soon, as soon as the g/f remembers to return my camera ... lol.

No I have not purchased stripes yet, I just would love to see how they look first before I make my mind up. But keep the info coming, I need all the help I can get.

Yes ... installed by a local sign/auto graphics specialty shop. So far, so good ... but the installers asked if Balt. Street Mods offered any sort of warranty on the vinyl. Claims that, even though it's 3M vinyl, not to expect more than two to three years out of them before they'll need replacing ... because it appears BSM used a 3-mil "mid grade" automotive vinyl, rather than a 2-mil "High Grade." The installers also claimed that the material, because of its thickness, was very difficult to work with ... and required a good shot with a heat gun to get it to lay down correctly at the bottom of the rear fascia (which they took care of free of charge, a week after the installation ... it's now staying put since that fix).

I haven't confirmed the claims about vinyl grade with BSM ... so take it for what it's worth.

Since I wasn't sure on color or stripe sizing, I bought the kit as a "trial run" for stripes I'll have painted on later, when the funds to have a body shop sand, paint, and blend them free up.

the satin silver was just delivered to me the other day, and when i took it out and put it up next to the tungsten, it looked really really similar in color. im having them installed on saturday, but im a bit nervous about how close the colors are. how did yours turn out?

No worries ... the exact same thoughts went through my head when I got the rolls of stripe material. It will look a ton better on the car, and the contrast will improve tremendously once installed.

Even the installers said they thought the color combination was one of the best they'd seen.
