You can get some matte black stripes from Baltimore street mods. They got good quality stripes and great customer service

I had Baltimore Street mods send me some stripes recently that were shoved into the tube to the point that the vinyl was sticking to itself and unusable. I emailed them and they never replied to me, what a waste of $. Therefore, I can't recommend them.

Try graphic-express.com. They are a little more expensive, but you get what you pay for. I've used them multiple times now and the kits are higher quality than Baltimore in terms of materials used, symmetrical cuts, packaging, etc.

I ordered some 10" matte black from baltimore street mods a while back and have just been too lazy to put them on, everything was packaged nicely and they got here very quickly so I would recommend them.

Here's an example of what BSM's flat black looks like. It's the Blackjack tribute stripe with two one inch pinstripes that I added.

i've shopped around for stripes, and baltimore street mods seems to have the best prices on the stripes. i've also read their customer service is outstanding too; if you mess up when installing, they will work with you to fix it and (if it needs it) will replace it no questions asked. but apparently this doesn't always happen though, like in mudflap's case; but like he said, graphic-express is another place to check too.

the only downside i have heard about matte stripes is that they can be hard to keep clean and that you don't want to get wax on them

Check out www.bobwhitedecals.com . They have a bigger selection of colors and for some of their decals you can even get reflective colors plus they have some stuff that I've never seen anywhere else.
