Thanks for the replies. Since everyone said to paint the manta stripe, what is the average cost for the paint job. And if you are in the socal area what shops will do the stripe?

i have both hocky strips are vinel and the hood is paint and they both look good but the paint is the way to go if you dont want to change it
here is what they look like
good luck with what ever you choise and vinel does not cost $200 my stripes were like $60 to my door

3rdgen was my first choice, but found a site (not a sponser so i wont mention) that sells the whole kit for $50, but only gives you 1 manta. If I f-up im screwed.... and they make it in the flat black, still on pics of a flat black kit bye the way.

I hope nobody takes offense to my remarks. I'm not trying to trash anyone's decision to use vinyl. I, personally, am not a fan of any sort of vinyl stuck on a automobile. If you've seen any pics of my car on the site, you'll notice that I don't even have any decals on there. As a matter of fact, the first thing I do when I buy a car is make the dealer remove their decal. It's just a personal preference.
That said, if you can get a vinyl manta stripe for $50… I say go for it, and Good Luck!
