SS stripes look horrible... My stripes are fading pretty bad on my 99 SS. Is it a better idea to just have a paint job done or look for replacement vinyl? I know the paint job would last longer, but custom work gets pretty damn pricey.
Anyone know where I could even look for replacement stripes to be laid on the car?

If you really like having the stripes, you can get a set from these guys. http://www.3rdgendecals.com/ They are great to deal with and have pretty decent prices. Otherwise, you could always take the stripes off and go for the clean and simple look. Good luck!

^Yeah, painted definitely looks better. The vinyl does fade and I really like to have a good shine on my vehicles.
Think I need to look into getting a couple quotes on having the stripes painted.
The prices on that site do look really good though.

If the car is white, I'd say the heck with black stripes and any other color or than line a light silver. That setup looks killer and better than any other combo. Any other screams " Hey, look at me" where as the white/silver has a more low key yet great look to it.
