Default Anyone know of a good place to install vinyl graphics?

I'm looking at acquiring a set of Boss 302 style stripes for my car but have no idea where to get them installed in the Raleigh/Cary area. Suggestions?

Also which would be better matte or gloss black on the green? I'm leaning towards gloss.

Dan, a good graphics company that does vehicle wraps should be able to take care of it for you.

Ok thanks, now to try to find one. Also seems the consensus is the matte. Any ideas of cost, sorry never done this before.

I had a graphics company do a full roof wrap on my old car, it was just over $200. I wouldn't expect it to be much over that.

Ok I've been doing some reading and seems matte may not be for me for cleaning reason. I try to hand wash and wax my car at all times, but occasionally I bring it to a brushless car wash. I have a busy schedule that leaves me little time to myself. I want a set of vinyl stripes that would be okay through a brushless and my car is parked outside all day for work but garaged at home. It is a DD so not sure what to do. I turn to you guys for input. I would love to get painted stripes but they are out of the budget!

There shouldn't be any problems with that as long as its high quality vinyl and the install is good.

I agree with Harold, you should be fine with a good quality vinyl. Vinyl is a great way to test your design, and if you are happy then paint can be a good option.
