Looking to add some racing stripes to my Camaro. I found some “Pace Rally” stripe style I liked on phastekperformance but they have no reviews. Any recommendations of places I should look for them? I’ve seen some posts about ensuring they are 3M and glossy….not sure how to tell if they are glossy or not.

The ones I’m looking at:

Would love input on the undertaking of installing these myself having never done graphic or vinyl work before.

^^^ This. I've done smaller graphics with success but doing stripes, would be out of my league. And I tried the ol' tinting window thing too - I wasn't any better at that.

Plain racing stripes like that should be easy enough. I've installed plenty of stripes on friends cars. I use the wet method and never had an issue unless it was bad vinyl. Tint is a whole 'nother ballgame. I've tried countless times and I always finish with a mediocre product at best. I paid for the Camaro to get tinted but my daily beater Yukon I tinted myself and its very obvious it wasn't done by a professional lol

Nothing like seeing a high end car with bubbled tint. I see newer beamers and Mercedes alot with bubbled tint, makes me wonder what they were thinking. I pay the pros to do that. I've put a few decals on over the years using the wet method and even vents in the hood and fenders, but even one of the fender vents is about 1/16th cockeyed because I let the tape stick before I adjusted it. I'm the only one that notices, but one day I'll take it back off and put it on right with new tape.

These are the the silver stripes, I had put my SS by a professional. I would never try to do them myself.

you can stil get the OEM stripes (depending on color), and absolutely have a pro put them on!
