Vinyl stripes How are vinyl stripes durability wise? And are some better quality or are they all made by the same company? Since I'm stuck using a stock flat hood, I want to dress it up a bit. Is vinyl durable enough for a driver or will it flake and peel. Painted stripes are not an option at this point.
Thanks!

my buddy had vinyl stripes... they held up alright... jsut gotta watch with wax and stuff.... im sure it varies with sellers the durability... i wants to paint stripes they wanted 1,000 bucks to do it.... and it was already 900 to paint my 4in cowl hood and nose..... sooo... i left it and it looks meaner than ever.... just save yer money n change the hood
vinyl varies with who makes it...some vinyl is really thin, so it looks like w/e's painted on the car at a passing glance. But, that type of vinyl tends to chip more often...there's thicker vinyl that lasts alot longer, but it's very clear that it's a sticker you put on the car.

I shopped around a lot when I had the vinyl put on my car, but the end result was well worth it. I got 10 year vinyl and after having it on there almost exactly a year, it still sparkles and looks like it did when I first had it put on. We also added the pinstripe around it to help it blend in with the rest of the car, but I get asked all the time who painted my stripes on. Done correctly, it will look very good and last a long time.
