Have you used them and if so, did you like the quailty and look of them. I am having my Cyber Gray C6 roof and halo paintied black and wanted them to do some black stripes but is was gettting a little costly, so I was thinking of trying theses.

The stripes will work well for a few years, but over time you will see wax buildup in the seams. It is a good idea to use vinyl stripes and then after you still like it in a year or so have it painted. Painted is SOO much better because you cannot feel it, but of course irreversible and more expensive :-)

Did you get them painted, if you do not mind can you tell me the cost.
thanks

However, on my C5 I had vinyl for 2 years and it was OK and looked good as well.

my 97 Comp T/A came with vynal stripes, from SLP engineering.. i used Zaino polymer polish and there was no wax buildup at all..in fact, because Zaino layers, after multiple coats, the stripes looked painted on..and they never got any chips or damage either..

I also recommend Mike at Vettestripes.com. I just applied some Carbon Fiber-looking vinyl stripes to my 2006 Black Convertible. Easy and fun to install and Mike was extremely easy to work with. Go check out his website so you can see all the different configurations he has available.
