Default 3rd gen decals???

I got the impression that this was a good source for vinyl stripe kits. The one I was sent was over 8" too long at the top of the hood, and about half a foot too long at the bottom. I also didn't receive installation instructions.

After ruining the driver side hood stripe, I reordered a new set. My paypal account was cleared on Jan. 9, and I've yet to receive a new kit. Am I the first to have these problems?

I delt with www.autografics.com for my 30th anniversary stripe kid for my car, everything was sent pretty quick and a few things were missing but the mistakes were fixed very quick and shipped to me. I have heard a few stories about 3rd gen decals but I have no experience with them. The one complaint I remember was pretty much the same as yours, the pieces weren't cut correctly. Have you tried contacting someone on the phone? Other than that the kits are custom order and they could be backed up? Good Luck,
-Rob

Have you e-mailed them? Have you called customer support?

I don't like dirty laundry aired in a public forum.

Dirty laundry? Has the concept of informing fellow car enthusiasts on good/bad purchases deteriorated? My post was to simply find out if my situaton was unique, for assurance that I had nothing to worry about. FWIW, attemps to communicate have been made.

As a follow up to my original post, I have received the second kit. This one did include instructions as to what trimming was needed to ensure a proper fit.
