SLP makes the best, by far. They are a bit pricy ($70 if i remember correctly), but worth every penny.

defintely go with the SLP. They actually look real from about 5-10 feet away. They are a fade so they actually look cut out, and don't look like pieces of electrical tape.

Go with the SLP flat black fade stripes, they look awesome on Summit White, I know from personal experience. I got them from Maryland Speed, I think they were around $60. They were easy to install and have weathered great, I've had them on for at least 6 months and they are still perfect.

I went the sticker route, but after a year they started peeling.

Then I went with the CB-1001 powder coated, aircraft aluminum ones from Defenderworx for both my Camaro's.

Got them for $169 on sale from JEG's. Do a Google search for the lowest price and they'll price match.

No complaints and they look AWESOME!!!

BTW, that's the GM fuel door. Just painted it with satin black paint. Definitely an improvement.

I have bought these stripes:

http://www.shopchevyparts.com/exteri...-92247830.html

and in my opinion are they very good.
And the best was, I could attach them without to use water. Simply peel and stick.




At first, I have bought the SLP stripes, too. I must say that they looks much better than the ShopChevyParts stripes but it was much harder for me to attach them.
Unfortunately are they broken when I tried to attach them.


I think I have made anything wrong.

Seems a waste to put them on a black car.

Im liking the SLP fade stripes. Im looking for something to give it color but not too dramatic like others Ive seen. How do they install?
