Default Hockey Stripe 98-02

Does anybody out there make a hockey stripe that is solid at the front? I'm not really interested in the space for writing. Been looking everywhere. Any help is appreciated.

the only way to do that is to have the stripe painted on. the reason there is a gap in all of them is because vinyle can not go over the gap between the bumper and fender it will start to peel away. I had mine painted on

Yeah its the 6le bumper that is the only pic I have of it right now. The car is in Texas right now and I am stuck in Colorado, I was kind of dissapointed with the way the bumper fit around the headlights but I recon that is par for the course with aftermarket bumpers. I am going to get creative with headlight mounting to see if I can get the gap closed up.

not true, you shouldn't have any problems with the vinyl peeling away unless you apply it wrong. But you will have to cut a slit there to make it two pieces so that the bumper/fender can be separated if need be. I've ordered all of my stripes from camarographics.com in the past, great stuff every time. Here are their hockey stripes. If you read the page it says you can do the full stripe, but it costs more due to the size of the roll needed.

Thanks for the link. The shorter version is exactly what I am looking for. They have a good curve and don't rake back and look all goofy.

Yeah there shouldnt be an issue with the gap between the fender and bumper if its applied right, you will of coarse have to cut the vinyl in the crease but it will be fine. A sign or graphic shop should have no problem setting you up with some custom stripes.
