Default Racing stripes for $42.99?

I was looking on ebay for some racing stripes to put on my hood and deck. I came across a deal that looks to good. Hood and deck stripes for $42.99. Most stripes I've seen have been at least $150 or more. The stripes are a real good price. If I didn't like them, I wouldn't be out alot of money. Anybody used them?
Thanks, Joe

Just keep in mind, if it sounds too good to be true it probably is.

I think stripes look awesome on any Camaro. Word of caution though, see what they say about vinyl thickness. I had a chat with someone else the other day about stripes, they said the cheap ones are a really thin thickness, hence they don't last as long! Maybe it's just me, but that's one of the last things I would've thought about, but it makes sense... if it's really thin, it's that much more easy to accidently tear or get damaged from the sun. GM stripes are (atleast this is what I was told, don't quote me as being 100% correct) 8mm thick, compared to some of the cheaper ones only being 2mm thick. Doesn't seem like much, but I suppose that little bit does make a difference, as I haven't had too many problems at all. Of course, thicker it is, the more wax buildup you have along the edges... Guess you really don't win either way.
