$800 is kinda expensive though, but cheaper than a new paint job

Thanks everyone for your opinions! Still not sure what we will do with the fenders...but we have a little time to think about it.
Ok, our next mod is an exhaust. Know any reasonably priced exhausts that are good? My husband likes Borla, but I don't want our car to look almost identical to his father and mother's black Z. Thanks!

Actually when he took his father's to a place to do his, he did 50% of the work and it turned out great. They look fantastic. Pictures are great. When I had mine done here at our house, my husband was the one in front watching like a hawk while a good friend of mine installed them and the dog, well he was really excited...and me. I was on the ladder taking pictures scared to death of the change that was happening to my car. Needless to say. All turned out great!

I've been meaning to ask this for awhile;
When you wash your vette with these stripes, how hard is it to keep them from peeling? Do you just avoid the area? I'm pseudo religious on washing my vette weekly, and if i added these stripes, I'd really like to not waste the money on them if they start peeling 3-4 months down the road because of the constant attention I pay. Also wondering about waxing, same question.

Wow, nice stripes
Unless you trying to lift them up, just wash them parallel with the edge of stripes and you should be fine. They stick super well so unless you mean to lift them up, washing would not matter
