Default questions re: striped hood
Has anyone striped their hood, I am thinking about striping my hood and am wondering how much it would cost to have someone do it. Also are there any places in the chicago area nw suburbs that could do this. Thanks Jimbo

Do you want vinyl or paint. If you do a search, there are some vendors here on the forum that sell vinyl stripes.

You could do vinyl. If you do buy the vinyl, and go to a sign shop, they do installations.

Check out vettestripes.com.

There are a ton of pictures on the site and they do excellent work if you go in that direction.
