    Get silver! That would look awesome, and also get some pictures up of your car! I would really want to see how it looks!

      Yea silver, are those vinyl decals? Off the chain' How much are those running? I thought about maybe getting some stripes done, but those have an added "flare" to them!

        Yes they are vinyl.

        There are two kinds of vinyl, cast and calendared. The calendared is made by squeezing a blob of hot vinyl through some rollers into a thin (3.5-4mil) sheet. It's cheap to do, but the vinyl wants to shrink back a bit after a couple years because it was forced into a sheet without being all the way melted. When the cast vinyl is made it is completely liquid and pours in a very thin (2mil) sheet from a pool of molten vinyl. As it cools (casts) in its sheet shape, it has no stress and will maintain its dimensional integrity for much longer. This material costs about 3 times the money to manufacture, and being thinner it is a little harder to apply, but it is the only way to go if you want it to last. (And to survive the car wash).
        All our kits are premium 2mil cast vinyl with an expected outdoor life of 7-10yrs. If you are considering a kit with printed color like the 35th anniversary kit, they are all made with a Gerber Maxx 2 thermal resin printer. Inkjets and paintjets (even laminated) will not give the durability necessary for automotive graphics. The Maxx 2 melts color foil onto the vinyl as it passes through the machine. This foil will last about 5yrs before it begins to fade. Furthermore the 35th anniversary stripes are usually printed in black or white which have inherent longevity.

        Also they are 35th anniversery thats why they have the checkered flag. They even have reflective ones ;) . They cost 200-225 for the 35th anni stripes with the insert. and 75 for the side flags. All in all 300 for a badass 35th anniversery car ;)

          Whoa!!! A MOUTHFULL! That's hot man, for real. 300 is steep for an apearance mod, but they are sweet as hell. Any comprimise in price and quality, (which is an oxy moron in itself). But something a little less "bang" than the 35th anv ones, a bit more subtle but just as nice
