Here you go:

Only issue is you have to buy a 30' roll.
Yeah, but the bad part is the thinnest roll is 15" wide!  No way I could cut it longitudinally myself.

Thanks, but the issue is getting the stripes in the gray metallic - that car shows silver.

The guy that did my stripes can get any color you want, not sure if he just sells the vinyl, ASAP our sponsor can get you whatever you want. I was talking with the guy about silver stripes, my son wants them on his car. He told me for whatever reason the silver vinyl stripes don't hold up well, I know the ones on my sons car now look like ass. Zebra Stripes did mine they are in Chantilly, VA.

I like silver, but not the windshield surround silver. so if you go with a color that is different than the surround you have to paint the surround and other parts.

so maybe just match the silver :)

So I started looking for gray metallic vinyl stripes, and so far found nothing that I want.  Apparently gray metallic vinyl (as a color option) is very rare, nothing so far on eBay. Plus the places that do have it don't do stripes like I want... I'm going for a simple 10" wide single stripe.

Agh.  I'll keep looking.
Thanks Steve, know anywhere that does these?

My guy is just about done with my Coupe Stripes, he teased me with a 'check-out' set last week before the snow hit.   :banghead: Mine will be 16" with a 3/16" Pin stripe and gap for it.

If all you want is a 10" wide piece, should be easy for any one to cut it for ya.  Any sign company can do it.  You might have to supply the exact color Vinyl you want.  However most sign guys have lots of unused pieces from other jobs.

I'll hang some pictures when I git-r-done.  :thumbs:

Good Luck

Steve

Black or charcoal would be my choice and I own a brazen.  Personally I would go with the double stripe.

2008 Brazen GXP, nicknamed FALCON because they fly at high speeds, change direction quickly, and dive at speeds that exceed 200 mph making them the fastest-moving creatures on earth.
