Here is the direct link

http://www.autotrimdesign.net/detail...category=28057

Matte Black kit is $195 from them

and the install when I had it done by a professional was $135

They are just stickers basically and arn't too hard to install, me and a friend installed my last set and it took us a hour but, It is nice to have a professional install them.

I would not pay more than $150 to have them installed and definately not more than $200

My shop that installed them charged me $35 an hour for 3.5 hours and then tax.


Definatley call in your order and order them and specifically tell them you want oracal high grade matte black vinyl,

When your kit is delivered to you look at the stripe kit and underneath it will say the manufacturer of the vinyl, if it says avery for any reason return them and say this is not what I ordered, because thats how I messed up my paint on top by trying to remove poor quality stripes it was a nightmare,

they honored the warranty and gave me the correct kit, so their customer service was excellent, I just want to save you the trouble I had, if they send you a 3M vinyl kit that is ok,

3m and oracal are the best and they will hold up like they are suppose to.

Glad I could help,

After those stripes, adding black projector headlights and black led tail lights would set your car off, Going all black like that will be very sleeeeeek and Nice,

our black led tail lights are real bright and real nice,

Vinyl is definitely the way to go IMO. For the reasons mentioned on the previous pages.

I've seen the flat black rally stripes on a lot of black cars. I like the look. It's that stealthy look. The set Patrick posted would look great in flat black.

I don't know about the black headlights, but definitly go with the black LED tails.

Projectors, probably not, but I want the eyelids. And if I got the LED tails I was considering the red ones to keep it looking stock. I don't like the red reflector circle on the black ones. Just my opinion though. I could always get the smoke covers for them.

Red led tails would be real nice, I wouldn't smoke lenses too much because people behind you at night can't see you stop as clearly and you don't want a rear end crash, some eye lids in glossy black to match your paint would look real nice
