Where to buy aftermarket Rally Stripes

I may have asked this before but I can't find the thread, where can I buy aftermarket rally stripes? An online store that is reputable and you can trust the vinyl will be good and not fall off in a year or so? I tried Bigworm and what I want they don't make due to the heat in Texas, so that is out. Would really appreciate any suggestions.

I live in AZ and that was a big concern of mine as well. So I went to a local custom shop and had them provide and install a warrantied 3M product. It cost a few more $$ to do it that way, but peace of mind was also provided so I'm happy.

I have also used promotorstripes with good results. They have only been on for a few months and my car is in a garage most days, so I can't speak to longevity. However they do use a quality cast vinyl from Oracal.

Don't understand what you mean when you say the ones offered by BigWormGraphix won't work because of the heat in Texas. I live in Nevada, North of Vegas, where for a good part of the year, we run in the triple digits (110-115). I've got my stripes (3D CF) from BigWormGraphix over 2 years ago and they still look great ... no fading or other issues. The pictures below were taken just recently...

I've had my stripes on for almost 7 years and they look just as good as the day they were put on. Here is the link for Auto Graphics in Manheim, PA.

What I meant was, the color that I want, which is a custom metallic color, they said they don't make them due to the heat. With the sun and heat exposure, they wouldn't last very long. I just wanted something that will stand out, preferably a sparkly silver. And if that don't work, I'm thinking of white. I just don't know which one I'd like to go with and I don't want to regret my decision.

I did speak with someone there and they told me $450.00 to $600.00 for the stripes. I didn't want to pay that much when I can buy them cheaper and have someone install them. Thank you for the pics!

Hi neighbor, we have way too many great 'cruising' days year round to ever complain about the heat.

does not matter were you buy them from... if you are concerned about the heat then i would not buy them at all and just get them painted on.... all vinly is just about the same from what i have seen..i have installed vinyl on our cars for a long time and never seen the heat do any damage to them..you are being parioned
