I have had my stripes from Mike at Vettestripes on my car for 6 years now. I had to buy a new set for the hood as I changed to a different hood. The stripes hold up great to elements, and washing..... Love them.

Like others said they were very easy to install! Just remember to add some Johnson & Johnson baby shampoo to the spray bottle of water to make sliding the stripes around til in place a piece of cake He has pretty good instructions on his web site explaining how much and the over all process. Good luck and be sure to post when you get em on!

Another for VetteStripes.com. I went with RF Fender Stripes though...my car is the silver C5 with blue/grey fender stripes on his site. Holding up well so far (1 yr) and nice quality.

They were a great company to work with. I would only consider them for any future needs.

I hope this doesn't seem obtuse, since I have not bought from vettestripes because I can't make up my mind! That being said, I will go to them in an instant once I figure out what I want to do. The website itself is great for seeing results. So, count this as an 'observer's recommendation".
