I am located in Georgetown, TX close to Austin.
I am interested in having a vinyl stripe for the hood installed.
Any recommendations for a reliable installer.
Thanks,
Ron

You might have better luck posting in the regional forums.

You have two professionals to check out. Pretty much any custom audio,bling shop that installs window tint, or a sign company (they make, and install vinyl sign graphics). As posted above the source for the stripe kit itself is Mike Ung, a CF supporting vendor and owner of www.vettestripes.com best of luck, I love mine!

Just curious - what color is your vette and what color stripe you looking for?

Mike at vettestripes.com helped me out quite a bit but I was told by a local vinyl installer, here in Vegas, that vinyl wouldn't conform to my MCM hood.

Go to the red tool bar, pick Forums, then pick Events and Regional, then pick your geographical area, then start a thread.

Thanks to all forum members with their advice and a special thanks to Mike at Vettestripes, he located an installer in my area.
Forum is a great source for information and good people too.
