Default The BIGGEST GP C5 stripes sale ever

You will save from $25 - $30 for 1 tone color stripes and $35 - $45 for 2 tone color stripes and FREE SHIPPING .

1. One tone solid color stripes are $125 (reg $150)

2. One tone metalic color stripes are $130 (reg $160)

3. Two tone solid color stripes are $155 (reg $190)

4. Two tone with 1 metalic and 1 solid color stripes are $160 (reg $200)

5. Two tone with both metalic color stripes are $165 (reg $210)

I will need 10 people to commit to this GP and the GP will end Nov 1st and all payments must be received by Nov 8th.
This is below the prices that I am about to sell them to a big vendor with a condition that he must buy 10 sets at a time (I don't give him free shipping ).

I will not ship the stripes out untill I receive all 10 payments.
If you decide that you wanna get it ahead of time, you will pay regular prices first and I will refund you the differences if I got 10 payments by Nov 8th.

Please check these posts for pictures and instruction:

Thanks for looking,

Hey Mike - make these to fit a Motor City Mold hood and I'd buy. Don't trust anyone around here to try and make your ones for the stock hood to fit the MCM hood.

Are people still having trouble with putting the stripes on their clear tinted targa top?

This is the best time to try it on since the prices are too low.

I will put you down as the 1st buyer of this GP.
We need 9 more

I actually don't know since nobody has complained about it. Ron is the first one put it on his clear top and it still there for at least more than 5-6 months as far as I've known.
We only have had 1 issue reported on the clear top BUT that clear top got a big CRACK on it ... so I don't think it is the clear top issue

I have given a set to a forum member with MCM hood to try on and then I don't know where he is now
I can give you a free black hood set so you can play around it with to what I need to do to get it worked.
To me, it just needs to cut a bit longer since you'll need to wrap around the induction hole ...
Let me know.

Mike,

Would you mind going through all the color options again? What do you recommend for a black FRC?

Sure!
Different people got different taste so my taste for your black FRC would be big silver and small red.
The silver would match your wheels and the red would match your brake calipers (if you have painted red) or your engine compartments.
Just my 0.02$

Here are some suggesting color combination (bigger/smaller stripes). These are just my 0.02$ on my taste. Different people got different taste
1. Pewter or quick machine silver C5's: black/black, black/red, CF/CF, CF/red
2. Quick silver C5's: same as above plus electron blue/red
3. Black C5's: metalic silver/red or red/metalic silver, met gunmetal/red, met gunmetal/met silver, met gunmetal/met gunmetal, met silver/met silver
4. Red C5's: met silver/black, met silver/CF, black/black, CF/CF, black/met silver, white/white
5. Yellow C5's: black/black, CF/CF, black/met silver, black/met gunmetal
6. Magnatic red C5's: met dark charcoal/met gunmetal, met dark charcoal/met silver, met gunmetal/met silver, CF/CF, etc ...
7. White C5's: red/red, black/black, CF/CF, black/red, red/black
8. Lemans, electron, navy blue C5's: met silver/red, met gunmetal/red
FREE shipping for all orders

No Nassau Blue pic's?? I bet Carbon Fiber would look good on it.
Is the price for the CF the same as the two tone solid color?
TIA

Mike,

Thanks for the fast reply. I'm leaning towards your suggestion of silver/red trim. However, my significant other doubled the price she expects to pay for the stripes; she refers to me as somewhat 'challenged' and expects me to destroy the first set just trying to install them.

Do you (or anybody else for that matter) have some detailed instructions/tips on how these things get installed? Is there any possibility of damaging the paint finish?

Any and all details would be welcome.

For now, go ahead and put me down for a set of silver/red trim stripes.

Carbon fiber is a $190 one tone color stripes set so you will get max discount for 1 tone color stripes of $30. Your carbon fiber set will be 160$ free shipping.

Most of previous forum buyers who have never installed vinyl before did not have any problem following my instruction and got the job done perfectly.
Please check my 1st attached link to the post up there and you will find my instruction. It is not that great but you should be able to understand it.

I will put you down as a second buyer

If you wanna get a set right away, you will have to pay the regular price but I'm giving free shipping. When we got 10 buyers by the end of Oct, I will then refund $45.
Please email me if you are ready to get a set (mikec5vert@gmail.com)
I'll put you down as a 3rd buyer

Thanks y'all

You are number 5 and I already had a really potential forum buyer that has emailed me so he maybe number 6

If you wanna get the set now, it will be $200 free shipping.
When the GP is on, I will refund $40 back to you.
Or you can wait until we get 10 people.
Let me know what you want!
Thanks,

Is the thick inside stripe separate from the thin outside stripe? I might just want to apply the thick stripe portion.
