If your getting vinyl i would just order from Baltimore Street Mods i know its 3000 miles away but they are a great fit and make a quality product and from my expierence great customer service. Then find someone to install them in So Cal itsa tricky job believe me dont try it yourself.... been there done that and as you see i have no stripes on my car lol

Just get the dealer to put your stripes on...




BWAH HAH HAH HAH HA!!!

Baltimore seems to be the preferred seller of vinyl stripes. If you aren't going with multiple stripes why not get a friend to help you?

The first Gt i had, i took it to the dealer and they did not even do it there. They have a guy that does all there striping and gave me a phone number. Thier body shop would only put the lower side strips on and that was it.

I had A LOT of problems with my first attempt at installingthem...I learned a simple trick from some guys in the forum and I felt like a professional.

My suggestion is -DO IT YOURSELF. Just take your time measuring for the 2 inch gap.

Trick #1: Carefully peel all the paper from the vinyl (front and back) as you install each piece.
The instructions tell you to leave the backing paper on - HORRIBLE SUGGESTION.

Trick #2: Use a hairdryer on the vinyls while installing over the bumpers and for folding the ends under/around the edges.

But if$400.00 to $500.00 is not thatbig of an expense for you, then I guess that may be the way to go...

I did all the things you said, peling it of carefully, using the hair dryer, It looked ok but not perfect. Ill pay 400 at most.
