Strip Cost
Does $400 sound like a fair price for the dealer to install strips on my car. They will be Black stripes on my Grabber Orange 07' with the GT appearance package. I know they have to take off the hood scoop to strip it correctly.

RE: Strip Cost
Don't get it done at the dealer... always a rip off. Have a shop that specializes in stripes do it. It will cost less, and they will probably do a better job... in fact, I'd bet money that your dealership will farm that job out to a specialty shop anyway. Take the middleman out of it.

RE: Strip Cost
After I negotiated the price of my car I had them throw the stripes in as a deal-sealer, otherwise there is no way I would pay 600 for em. And my dealer just has another company come to the lot and do it. Did a terrific job, though!

RE: Strip Cost
I have seen the work that was done on another GT at the dealer and It looked good. It is subbed out to a local graphics guy. My brother is a mech and the dealer so they arent trying to rip me off. I was just curious about the price. As far as painting Torch, I'm not sure when and how many body mods I will do so going the cheap route first.

$400 not to bad at all. most of dealers here do the same thing and sub it out to a local guy. i talked to him and he said $450 for my car. this guy will make house calls if you have a garage. if i go thru the dealer they want $650 go figure.
