Racing stripes
 
Alright, I've done A LOT of looking online, and still can't find any stripes that resemble mine. Here's some pics for reference.

All the ones I'm seeing online don't touch the front of the hood and don't go that far down the rear. Also, for some reason I can't get in touch with the company that made the original set of stripes when the car was built. If anybody knows of another way to get stripes like this...please let me know.

Also go to www.autotrimdesign.com

You can call them directly and they will make anything you like for your car, any ideas you have they can do, the main guy there told me that if there was anything I could think of just ask directly,

They can make the stripe kit and make it to where it goes all the way down, just have to talk with them and ask for the email and person who to send your pics and request to.

I'm sure a sign/graphics shop around town might help you, of course I don't know where you live so I can't suggest anything. I know I had mine done by a shop here in Laramie, WY which is only around 20k people and there's like four or five different shops that can cut vinyl.

What about getting them painted on?

This thread confuses me... Why are you looking for stripes you already have?

I don't get it either, but you have to remember your car was a custom creation, you can't just get those stripes from a dealer or online... I'd suggest actually calling up some places that do graphics and vinyls, I'm sure they'd be able to come up with something.

Because the previous owner didn't take car of the car, so now the stripes look like trash. Faded is spots, all kinds of contaminents, rips and tears...everything.

Also, I would LOVE to get them painted on, but that is money I just don't have. $300-$500 is a lot easier to get than $1500-$2k.

And I know the car was a custom creation. American Vans Inc., the company that "upfitted" the car is now out of business. The sign company who made the stripes though, is still in business. They aren't answering phones or emails though, so I'm looking for alternatives.
