    Matte black stripes over black look insane on this thing!

    I decided I didn't really love the silver stripes my car had from the factory so I had my installer / partner do a set of new stripes in 3M 1080 Matte Deep Black. They came out completely ridiculous. I LOVE them. Stay tuned for more pics of her on lowering caps and wheel spacers.

    Looks awesome, but have to say I loved those silver stripes as well. It's nice to have choices! Gotta love those Gen V's.

    Zero possibility of applying these yourself. It takes my installer...who works with vinyl every day about 5 hours to complete this jod. 7-8 hours to do stripes from scratch.

    Looks nice. Pictures just don't do these Gen V's justice. I'm sure it looks way better in person!

    Do you know if your installed used Vinyl edge sealer like this:

    http://www.amazon.com/3M-Edge-Sealer...VX62EETT8D8HNY

    I heard that stuff really helps prevent the edges of stuff like racing stripes from lifting during weather/cleaning.

    That's one hell of a color combination...absolutely beautiful. I've said/typed multiple times...if I ever paint my viper it'll be black with matte black stripes. Nicely done.

    That looks great! I'm a fan of the factory graphite gray stripe on Venom Black for its subtlety, and this nails the understated look as well. I could see this used for a driver's stripe on a TA.

    I like it!

    Don't even think about trying this at home kids....there's an artistic knack to it and you don't have it.
    Just take the money you'd spend on the materials and throw it away now, saves time.

    Hahahaha thanks again guys. True...doing a perfect stripe job is not for the novice. As stated there is a 99.9% chance you will be throwing away the film and having a pro do it.
    Zybane...no we never use primer. Primer (edge sealer) is a crutch used by hacks in the vinyl and vehicle wrap business. There is no need for it if the film is applied correctly.

    Thanks, I thought the blue contrasted well on the gray as well.
