racing stripes
 
i was thinking about putting either some racing stripes or some side panel mustang stripes on my stang, i was wondering how hard this is to do yourself? and if you would have to clear coat over them to make them look decent?

You won't need to clear coat them, but I highly recommend you get a professional detailer to do the job.

Nothing's worse than a bad vinyl stripe job.....

Do it yourself. I did for the first time. Just take your time and plan it out. I taped the stripe down were I wanted it and marked it with a grease pencil on the car and just took my time. I was really pleased how it looked.

I had the stripe kit already purchased and had the place that painted my car do it. I can’t remember what I paid them to do it, but I want to say it was $150.00 tops. They did a great job, much better then I could have done.

Try www.rallystripes.com . You can put them on yourself and save $500. I have seen a lot of stripe jobs that were done by the car owner and they look every bit as good as professional jobs. If you want painted on stripes then I would definately recommend going to a good paint shop. The look is the same but the painted on stripes will last longer.
