Default Vendors: Die-Cut Vinyl Request

I need 2 pieces of die-cut vinyl in Carbon Flash Metallic color. One as a hood stripe behind the hood vent, and the other one to cover the chrome front grill insert!

The hood stripe one can be ordered from Chevy (eventually) and it is of better quality than a colored vinyl stripe. The Chevy stripe is actually Carbon Flash Metallic painted on a vinyl substrate.

The chrome grill accent might be removable without any telltale signs. I'd wait until they are in some owners hands to find out. If not, plasti-dip might be a better answer.

RPO code DTW "Carbon Flash Stinger Stripe" is $500.00 option. No, thank you. I will buy aftermarket from forum vendors.
Plastidip front chrome insert does not sound bad.

There might be a bit of a premium with the GM piece, but if you're thinking a lot less with 3rd party vendor I wonder about that. Maybe some, but too cheap you get what you pay for.

That is true.
Well I guess I will buy a roll of high quality vinyl and cut the stripe myself. Shouldn't be hard.

Why "die cut"? That isn't practical or necessary. They are cut with a knife on plotters, not with dies.
