    For anyone wanting to make their car look like a GSX as far as the stripes are concerned, I am heartily recommending Performance Graphics in North Carolina. :TU: I was given their name by Ryan's-GSX, and gave them a call. The stripe kit was $300.00, and it was a set of decals for the sides and across the rear spoiler. I still had to have the hood painted and the black hood stripe painted on, but they included a red roll of pinstriping for the hood in the package. I hired a local car graphics outfit to apply it for me, and they said they had to work with it but just a bit to make it fit and look right. My car was already yellow, and I had the GS hood I bought from BrunoD painted to match. I'm very happy with the result - here are some pics of how it looked today. For reference, here is the information on the vendor. I dealt with Chris Mayhew. He was excellent to deal with and the stripe kit arrived about 2 weeks after I ordered it. I understand he makes these decal kits up one by one, as he he receives orders, and he includes application and alignment instructions and measurements. :beer :beer His info is :

    Next on the agenda : a GS grille and install the painted headlight bezels that are sitting in my garage. Oh, and a dual exhaust. :rolleyes:

    Very nice. From the pics one would never know whether they were decals or custom paint.

    Thanks Jim, I'm very happy with the result. I would never have known it was decals if I hadn't seen them in a box! :shock:

    I don't think so, Joe - not sure why, though. You should call and talk to Chris, he's good to deal with.

    I am not 100% sure but I think they cant make the center hood stripes as a whole one piece setup. They would need to make 2 pieces and you would have a seem in the center of the front of the hood. Most people would not like this.

    Has anyone tried clearing over the decals? I've seen it done on motorcycles and snowmobiles so i was wondering if it can be done or am i looking for problems? The guy who did the snowmobile went over the decals lightly with some grey scotchbrite then cleared the whole thing.

    NSBound your car looks great!

    Thanks, Rob

    Hi Rob, thanks for the comment, I'm very happy with them. They're just applied, though, no clear or anything over them. I don't think I'll muck with them!!:)

    I have cleared over tape stripes before with bad results . The clear lifted around the tape . I have heard of others doing it with success . good Luck
