The guy told us it would be $800 to $1000 to do that but we could use the $260 that the vinyl would cost to reduce that price. We really would like the painted stripes but I don't know how easy it would be come up with the extra money. What do you all think should we go for it. I think I can get enough OT at work to help offset the cost but I already avg 47 hrs a week now but I could push it to 55 or 60 for a few weeks. I just hate doing in the summer.

One question? Wasn't your wife hit? And does the other driver have insurance and liable for damages? (OK two questions ) I would probably go for the paint if that's what I wanted.
I know what it's like to work OT. Do alot myself, so I feel your pain. That's how I pay for the mods too. One OF told me...use the Visa, free cash for 30 days That way you don't have to push too much during the summer months. I don't know what your working environment is, but mine is keeping up with 80deg and now that it's heating up here in the NW, will see temps of 100+ in the shop.
