first post plus a question.

I test drove a 2SS in the summer of 10 but the financial aspect didn't work out for me. So i stuck with my 2008 sky for a bit longer.
Great little 2.4 that was a blast to drive I had entirely too much fun screwing with the bmw convertible owners in the area with this one.


So fast forward to February 29/12 the sky was paid off and my daughter just turned 1 month old and here I am with a 2 seat roadster...
Knowing that i needed to pick up something with a back seat now I stopped by the dealer just to look at cars for fun and ended up trading my sky in for a 1ss convertible and ended up being Very late for dinner but it was worth the ribbing i got from my friends.


So as far as the question goes I am looking to add some stripes before i get into the more serious mods, Exactly how much trouble am i getting myself into? I have seen some Wildly different prices for the decals from the dealers and secondary vendors and if i did go with buying them outside the dealer any advice on getting them installed and or buying them?

Check out Night Shades. They have some killer stripe kits available on here for some great prices for Camaro5 members.

Welcome and congrats on your new Camaro! I thought I recognized your handle from the SKY forums.

I'll throw in a few official links - at least to point you in the direction of looking at what's officially available.

Go with painted stripes over vinyl. Just decide which ones you want. We had our dealer paint them and got a lifetime warranty on them.

Nice choice I was going to get those but decided to go with the gloss blue metallic since I have yet to see that color combination out in the wild yet. Should be a striking look. Cant wait.

I give up, I have been googling for a while now and CAN NOT find the "Night Shades" website where people are finding these awesome pictures of stripe designs.

All I can find is shades for a lamp.
