Default Super Snake Stripes

Does anyone make vinyl Super Snake stripes for the 2010+ cars? I can find them for the 05-09 cars, but not 2010+ I dont care for the two stripe setup that everyone carries. I like the one fat stripe with the 1 inch pin stripes on each side. I would eventually get them painted on if I like them. Id like to do them in vinyl first to make sure they are for me! LOL

Thanks!

I have also been looking for stripes for the 2010-11 and can only find lemans style striping or just the bigger hood stripe. I don't think that aftermarket has caught up yet.

Not that I've found. The only stripes that seem to work are sets of two, not a solid center. I tried working with a generic SuperStripe set, but the 2010 hood has a raised center and also curves out to a slight point, the issue becomes any wide center stripe will have creases dead center on the hood when you try to adhere it. The only solution, I was told by an installer, is to razor cut it and create a seam... not for me. And unless it's done on while on the hood it won't be perfect, not letting anyone razor cut anything on the finish of my car. I was hoping to live with vinyl stripes for a while and then paint them if I like them, but looks like painting is the only option. One other option was to end the stripe before the front end of the hood following its contour, and not have it continue to the underside like a painted stripe, but that's not something I would consider.

Be interested if anyone finds something as well, but I've been looking for months.

That looks great, last time I was on the site all I saw was the honetcomb lights and rear blackout. I guess this is what we see on your Black Beauty, so it's the read deal. Thanks.

Go to a sign shop or grpahics shop, they can do them. Local guy her ein town will install and custom cut them for $400. Mine are custom from teh dealer, takes someone that knows what they are doing to cut these things and install them. i sent the car back 3 times to have them redone due to bubbles and wrinkles.

I was gonna mentioned your local sign and graphic shop but Shane beat me to it.
I used local sign shop a lot for my custom stuff...
I got them to reproduce Tri-bar round decals to go over my AM wheel caps.
Saved me about $100...

Long time reader, first time poster.

I purchased a pre-cut set from this Ebay Selller:

Very Nice Stripes. Me and by brother installed them ourselves. We did have to do some minor trimming.
