They are pretty cool, but I personally don't like how far the front goes down. I like the Z16 stripes better.

Man, these guys are quick. They had a set(s) for the C6, I called Auto Trim Design, they told me they would personally design for me a set for the C5 because they had none. This was less than 2 weeks ago. Now this!! They told me I'd be the first, but I guess I damn sure won't be the last!!! Iwas gonna be the only one...woe is me!!! Anyways, I told them I'd take pics when the stripes arrived (should be this week) and I'd let the folks in the forum know how/when/where/cost etc... I guess you beat me to it!! Are you getting any? No...I mean stripes!!!

Not fond of their statement under FAQs.
"The majority of our vynil products are created from materials that carry a warranty of 5 -10 years. This warranty is void once coverings of any kind (clear coats, paints, waxes, polishes etc.) are placed on the materials."
Waxing is so time consuming now for me, but having to perform a wax job with a minature buffer to avoid getting any thing on the stripes would take "too" much time.
Also does the etc. mean soap? How do you was the puppies.
I'm sure these ar OK, but I think their are better products out there.

Wish we had a group of guys that made up a C5 Forum Consumers Guide for other C5 owners.
I'm sure if we researched it we could find every add-on and MOD ever developed for a C5 and do a "Thumbs up/Thumbs down" on them.

See my white stripes on Torch Red. Installation is not easy and the trimming is the trick to a good installation; if the "no trimming" claim is true, these could become very popular.

Looks nice, but I too like the looks of the Z16 stripes better. If they are made from high quality materials and hold up well, then they would be a decent alternative to the Z16 ones.

What I want to know is why in the world would anyone want to cover up their clear roof with stripes.

Post some pics after the install I would be very interested too. I also seen them on e-bay this week. I e-mailed Auto Trim and they said they stock them in various colors and would install in there shop for a nominal fee. We have a shop here locally , I may stop by early next week and see if they have installed any as of yet and ask some questions! Let you all know.
