    So I attempted to find someone to put some rally stripes on my chally today. It proved to be more difficult than I had anticipated. Seems like no one wants to touch it with a ten-foot-pole. Back in the day, a guy came to my house and put the blackout on the hood of my '70. No prob. But now-a-days it seems like everyone is afraid of getting sued or something. Anybody have any suggestions on who might do vinyl stripes? (I'm in Cali)

    I hear ya Man. I've gotton quotes from $1800. down to as low as $500 to $600. To replace the large racing stripes on my SRT8. It seems as though it's diffucult to remove old strips there is glue left on by the old stripes. And it's hard and time cunsuming to remove. Body shops do repair work,(this is my suggestion,see who they use) they usually hire and outside person that specializes in Vinyl stripes. The guy I'm going with is the guy that dose all the work for two of the best bodys shops in town. He is mobile and his price quote was very reasonable. can't wiat instead of replacing the whole black 8" racing stripe going to add 1" to 3/4" red to match brake calipers and 392.
    Good luck

    Same here, Had someone come out to the house That was recomened by a reputable body shop. I have used this body shop and have had great results.Anyway chose a color that appeared to match the calipers and 392 color of red. The color that was applied was closer to red/orange hated it. Had them removed. The color matched my 20 yr. old Kubota better than red on the brakes. Had a second shop that dose graphics and window tint do the stripes and the color was great loved it. A week later Stripes started rippling not sure why but they too had to come off. Shop removed stripes and reinbursed me a full refund. Still NO stripes.

    I've been looking fat options for doing something to mine, but all the local sign shops and body shops want to charge a ton go put someone else's vinyl on. Since I live near Fort Worth I'm gonna take a look at Big Worm, if you can get your car to their shop they do the install very reasonable. I like a lot of their stuff. I'm considering rt style side stripes with hood strobes, or the 2 color rallye stripes with a rocker strobe. I'm trying to decide on color I like to go on black.

    I changed out my vinyl 3 times on my 2010 when I got bored of the look. I recommend RiderGraphix for vinyl, lots of selections and Brian Rider seems to come up with product for new ideas that his customers have. Recently bought my shaker stripes from him, great quality.

    Ha ha, it was a new car each time. Which of those styles did you like the best?
