How well do you know this shop? Are they using their vinyl?

$100 sounds really cheap, but a single stripe even though it's large should take less time than the dual stripes. However, getting the vinyl to lay down on the curves of the bumpers has got to be harder with one big stripe.

I'm going to check out baltimore street mods directions for their stripe, now i'm curious.

Exactly, I kinda want it to come down onto the bumper to cover up a small chip I put on my car the first day I parked it in my garage [8D]

I am buying the vinyl from Baltimore Street Mods, and I have heard nothing but good things about this shop from people at my school.

So 100 is a good price for 'em?

"$100 sounds really cheap, but a single stripe even though it's large should take less time than the dual stripes. However, getting the vinyl to lay down on the curves of the bumpers has got to be harder with one big stripe."

The place that installed mine said that the single stripe hood was the most difficult that they have ever done. It takes some time to get things lined up properly, especially with the compound curves. In fact, they said that although my car attracted a lot of attention while it was outside drying, they weren't sure that they ever wanted to do another stripe job like mine. The $100 is a good price, I paid $125 as I recall, and they definitely will charge the next Mustang more.

I have no clue about the cost of installation. I don't have em yet, but if I did, I would do it myself....I have been considering this stripe for some time. I have also heard good things about Baltimore Street Mods. Only thing is, I conversed with them via E Mail some time back about this particular stripe. I asked if they could send me out samples in Matte and Glossy. They said no problem, but I never got em. Probably just got lost in the shuffle......I am still considering doing this as a hood only stripe.....
