We just added the side vent inserts as a start. We should be adding some Hockey Stick options and the Hood "Spears" for the side of the Hood scoop shortly too. I will be test fitting some patterns on a Camaro tomorrow.

You can see all of our Camaro options here.... http://www.ridergraphix.com/Camaro.html We will be adding options as they are ready.

We send detailed instructions with every order. Most of our customers do their own install and those that do not, go to a local Auto Body Shop or Window Tint shop to have them installed.

I really like the 68 SS style graphics in the link thats what my Green 68 has and if they made a green 2010 I would most likely get it with the same striping but they don't! So Yellow for the car and still undecided on striping.

I'm really liking those side vent inserts...really makes them stand out. Plus they're small enough anyone can install them. Thanks, autoguy!

Hahaaaaa! Venom, there's our Hockey Sticks right there! I can't decide if I want the one with the the text inside the stripe or outside next to the marker light...

Cannot WAIT to see them fitted on a real car. I knew RiderGraphix would come through.

I test fit a paper template on a car yesterday. They fit perfect.

One thing we did differently is that we made them in two pieces only. A front piece and a door piece. It installs in one piece on the front bumper cover and fender. This way, there is not a body color line running up the middle of the main stripe section. Once it is installed, it can be formed into the joint between the bumper and fender, then a relief cut can be made so the decal does not tear. You might see a very faint line at a certain angle, but it is nowhere near as noticeable as the factory stripes.

We do all of our Challenger stripe this way and have had great results and a better final outcome.

We adjusted the lower front of the stripe to be parallel with the marker light and refit it since these pics were taken.

Oh, and even though I'm not interested in them, I can't help but ask... do you guys plan on making elongated Rally stripes like how the gentlemen has been doing on his yellow car? The thread is in this board somewhere. If you do, I'd really love to know how you'd pull off accommodating that pesky mailslot! That stumps me!

Awesome stuff. I definitely like how it's a lot bolder than the GM offering. The stripe gets a little too thin towards the back with the GM hockey stick.

By the way, not that I'm interested in them but I can't help but ask... what do you guys have planned for elongated rally stripes? Like what the gentlemen in the other thread is doing with his yellow car. I'm stumped as to how you mold the vinyl around that pesky mailslot!

Definitely! And I can't decide on the text either! Haha!

I must confess... I may go for the gill vinyl, too...

If you guys are not sure what text you want, if you email me when you order, I will send you two choices of text at no additional charge. That way you can decide once you get the stripes.

This will only work with the text that is outside the stripe of course.

So will you be adding pictures of the orange car with the stripes applied to the website? As good as they are for a simple mockup, I'd prefer a picture of the real car to the photoshopped silver production picture.

We will be adding products and Photos of installed kits once we install them or a customer sends us installed pics. This is an ongoing process and if you purchase from us and send pics, your car will be on our website as well.
