Can you easily tell it's vinyl, or does it actually look like paint?

Also how long is it supposed to last?
You can get the Manta stripe, along with the stripe on the back deck lid which is called the "Stinger" stripe from FourthCircleDesigns.com

Car looks sweet bro. Question though, i thought the stripe on the back deck lid was supposed to go all the way down under the spoiler like in this pic???



I agree though, you need to do the Whistler mod and smoke the corner's or clear them and remove the side molding. I just used dental floss and a hair dryer to heat it up. Then some degreaser to help removing the adhesive. Simple ****, only took about 20 minutes tops.

Ahh, okk. I was wondering about that..Im so used to seeing everyone on here with the stripe going all the way under the spoiler. Either way, looks good.

it does....I simply dont like that look. I dont think it looks as clean with a stripe under the spoiler and ontop so I cut in inhalf to make it look like the stripe continues onto the spoiler...and thats it. IMO, I think it looks much cleaner.
