I have a 99 y87 with racing stripes. I just bought it about 2 months ago, and the stripes being 6 years old, are cracking horribly. At some spots you can completely see through it. I wanted an estimate on how much it would be to replace them. Would I need a new clear coat also?

But if ur gonna get them done, get it done the right way by someone good.

The August 2005 issue of "Super Chevy"(pg. 161) has a good article about putting racing strips on but not about taking them off. There are vinyl removing sprays. I have some real nasty vinyls I am taking off an ex cop car. I found a plastic straight edge (I think its a paint tool), cooking oil (to keep it from sticking to the rest of the vinyl messy), and a hair dryer (some heat makes it easier) along with the spray work but takes time.
