ShaneM, I know you've moved on to black wheels but I LOVE THOSE TSW WHEELS !!!
Back on point though:
Having originally had silver custom stripes that only lasted one year on my 2010 GT, I have to recommend you avoid silver...and from what I've been told red is only slightly more durable. The problem is color fade, and not consistently. Very patchy blotches of faded areas. And this was with the highest grade of 3M marine grade vinyl.
White supposedly holds up much better and black holds up the best. I also now use Aerospace 808 to help protect my new white stripes. If you really decide you must have silver or red I think you'd be best to get paint (Big bucks if done right) instead of vinyl.
I do get a ton of compliments about the stripes, in particular the slim pins on the outside of the wide stripes. When my stripes were silver I didn't have the pins...pics on my profile.
VERY Eleanor like to have your color with matte black....a great look. Good luck with your decision.

So I finally have some money together to use for the window tint and stripes. Can anyone recommend a place to buy pre-cut Super Snake stripes from? Obviously the less expensive the better, but I do want it to be durable. Thanks in advance!
