You are looking at probably $800 mainly because of the custom 2 color, and the whole hood and trunk were wet sanded and clear coated along with the stripes to seal them in. Did you see the thumbnails I posted with better pics? I think you did. I took pics of the whole process from start to finish. Where do you live?

Where is his shop? There are a few monthly ones here and some out in PA. Elizabeth is more north Jersey.

the shops located in toms river nj. FCA(first choice auto) on route 37w.

yeah i definitely think the suction cup idea would work.

Nice stripes indeed.... they do make a VERY nice vinyl kit for striping... If I would have known about them before, I would have had vinyl stripes on my LS, but now that I have a Dale Jr. I sadly cannot do striping to the hood and rear as you did

It was the first thing I had done to the car.
