RE: help with stripes
I take it you're a Chevy guy?(by calling them "rally stripes"
). Well, I have a tungsten grey GT and I just installed silver gloss stripes from BSM(have a professional install them as they are VERY labor intensive and patience is beyond a requirement IMO). The gloss stripes have a "little" metallic in them, but not as much(of course) as the metallic ones. I'm not too fond of the metallic ones as the glossy one seem to have a "flatness" about them that I really like(but to each their own
). Ask Rob at BSM if he has some samples he could send you(you'll probably have to pay postage at the worst). Here's a few pics

"Hey Moe"(couldn't resist, hm-mm if you're too young, think Curly from the Three Stooges, if that helps). They're 10" stripes(I think the 12" stripes are a bit too much, but they look cool too). Good luck with your choice!

Baltimore Street Mods -- great stuff and great service. Mine are gloss, I've never seen the metallic so can't help you there.
