Racing stripes

greetings again all, this time I wanted some information about adding full body stripes to my stang. I've seen them for roughly $200-300 and think that's kinda steep for 'tape'. I found some for around $60 and wanted to know if there was any difference.

Painting is not an option, so I don't want to go there.

If anyone has had experience with this, I would appreciate any assistance.

Thank you.

When it comes to vinyl... you get what you pay for. Look for 3M 5 year vinyl when shopping stripes. Baltimore Street Mods uses 3M and has excellent customer service.

I paid right around $300 for mine and I've had them for 3-4years. They still look just as good as when i put them on.

you should pay $700.
go to a sign artist shop and have them do it right. they will cost you $700 for the stripes and the install. it will look great and be the best $700 you ever spent.

That stripe painter link is pretty cool.

To the OP why is painting out of the question?

If I ever do some stripes I will be doing something like ghost stripes with maybe just some clear with metallic in it but very little and the stripes will be wide.

I have the $75 vinyl stripes on my car. They look great, installed them myself. Personally Iwant to change colors every 3 or 4 years. They came with a 5 year guarantee I think which is plenty. Went gloss black this time, will do royal blue next time. Anything you can do yourself is best in my opinion. But I prefer to work on my car, it de-stresses me.
