Don't waste your money on the factory vinyl stripes...they will scratch and give you a wax buildup at the edges after a few years.

Find a local reputable body shop and get your stripes painted on and color matched to your preference. Have them clear coated in to blend with your factory paint. You won't even be able to feel the edges and you should be able to get it done for about twice the price (or less) than the vinyl junk.

You will be very proud when you park next to a car with a factory/dealer stripe kit. He will probably be envious and wish he had done that. The vinyl stuff looks good at first, but just doesn't stand the test of time. And the factory color options leave a lot to be desired.
