Ive looked around online and many companies seem to be selling the same product

Also there are two styles one type fits into the recess the other outside and around which ones do you have/recomend

If you want to save some money, try this: http://stores.ebay.com/ProMotorStrip...sub=2345412012

The stripes are the same quality as you would get anywhere else, all 3M and Oracal vinyl. They have all the standard stuff, including both the regular and faded gills. I got mine here, checked the labeling on the back, and they were indeed Oracal as they claimed on the seller's page. Got them professionally installed and I think they came out great. No issues as of yet.

This is in my sig but here it is enlarged so you can see the gills. Sorry I didn't have a pic up close.

Every rally stripe I have seen is faded-I like then-but-painted is better-remember a decal is a decal.

actually, there are ways to treat your rally stripes which will preserve their look for a long time. Even though my car is a garage queen I have treated them since day one. If you do this they should look good as new on any of these cars.

If together with the world famous Electric Superblower it's around 15.7 per stripe

You can get all the vinyl stickers you like . I also had them on the car . But at $40 to $60.00 a pop for stickers . A few more dollars and you could go this way . This is what I did and looks a hundred time better IMOP.

I think that I'm beginning to like the carbon fiber vinyl stripes that I applied as a test.

I like those a lot. If I was not going to do the faded gills, I would have gone that route.
