They have high quality products and a wide variety of styles to choose from. I had a set of fender stripes from them on my previous car and they were very nice.

I am a graphic artist on the side of my regular job and just designed this stripe and installed it on my c5 just last Saturday. I sent the pdf file to a sign shop and they cut and masked it for me. I installed it myself as I have experience in doing graphics on cars. You can do it yourself if you feel up to it or have a pro do it. One problem area is the center of the hood where it dips down a little. I did mine in matte black and I think it came out great. There is a 3/16" pinstripe around the main stripe that you can use or not. I think it looks better with it.
Anyone who wants the pdf file pm me and I'll email it to you.
Sorry for the crappy picture as I took it with my cheap phone.
P.S. If the picture doesn't show up I apologized as I've never attached a pic on this site yet!

Vette stripes.... Mike is an awesome person and will be there if you need anything down the road. Had my stripes on the car for almost ten yeas now and they still look new. My car isn't a garage queen either

Guess I'm the only guy that doesn't like vettestripes.....
I ordered GS fender stripes. Things came with no instructions. Nothing to tell you they are different lengths until you start putting them on the car. You'd think they would have something that helps you apply them so that gap is even.
Instructions are soooo easy to make, why can't my $30 stripes that cost $0.10 to make actually come with helpful instructions........

I don't have any experience laying graphics or floating vinyl. However, the instructions provided on Vettestripes website had me come out with a perfect job. Then again for the hood when I bought a high rise SC MCM hood and needed the cowl cut out.

I love what you've done with your car. It looks bad a$$. The stance is killer.
