Here you go.....Gunmetal 35th Anniversary style but with larger radius on the edges and terminated nose pieces. (Looks much better than the stripes that run off the front of the car and look like you drove under a paint roller.) Plus the 3M vinyl used has WAY more metallic to reflect in the sunlight than the GM ones. They are from 3rdgendecals.

Down to the bottom stop at the hood both look good.

Does 3rdgendecals offer them in Gunmetal or do you have to request them? Was it any extra for the color? I went to their site not too long ago, but I didnt run into where it said that they were 3M decals, are you sure they are? You also said there's larger radius on the edges...what do you mean by that and do they come like that or is that another option? Lastly, the "terminated" nose pieces...do they come like that or is that an option? Thanks

Here is the New Manta kit from 3rd gen decals. I bashed the black insert from my buddies 35th kit. Picture is low quality, but you get the idea...

Suncoast Creations has some stripes on their site. But, it seems every stripe package is shown for the 4th gens on here. From the Bergers, to Heritage, to side hockey style, to 35th anniversary's.

To me, the ZL-1 and Bergers are the best lookin. But, a close 3rd is the hockey/heritage style...no matter what, as long as they're done tastefully, and not some gawdy color, they're kickass all around.

SSunset 02.......I'm glad you like your New Manta stripe as I gave input to Jay to make that stripe because the full Manta is such a Biotch to install .........I saw Jay fudge up 2 of the full Mantas in person. The New Manta allows the stipe to flow off the back of the hood and blend with the single wide rear stripe (ZL-1 style)


Does 3rdgendecals offer them in Gunmetal or do you have to request them? Was it any extra for the color? I went to their site not too long ago, but I didnt run into where it said that they were 3M decals, are you sure they are?

Not to sound like an *** but you appearently didn't spend much time at the website as all of you questions are answered there......Seriously.

The color is offered at the same price, the terminated fronts are a no cost option, Jay uses High Quality 3M vinyl......I know because I instaled the stripes myself and the back of each one says 3M right in it. Jay radiused the checker flag pieces to improve durability for car washes etc and joined the separate checker flag adjacent corners for the same reason. (all of this is on his sight BTW)

The larger radiused ends I was refering to are most notable in the back of the car. My stripes have a smoother rounder shape to them (to better match the front stripes) unlike the GM factory stripes that are squared off too much IMO. Look along the bottom edge of the hatch to see what I mean. Here are some pics of mine VS Tony's factory GM stripes to compare.

Hope that helps!


Mine........Corners Rounded



GM Factory......Corners Squared off
