sorry guys. it has taken a lot longer than i had hoped. the sign shop missed an email of mine, so i had been waiting on them and they were waiting on me. she'll have a final quote for me tomorrow and i should be able to give it the green light tomorrow, given that the quote is around what i'm expecting. i'll keep you updated better.
Sounds good, Steve.
We're patiently standing by..

Just got my new quote this morning. My jaw might be broken from dropping on the ground. I'm just glad nobody was looking for text. I wanted to do left and right side so that they would come from the sign company trimmed. But that will add about $400 for the 25 sets. To be able to keep from losing money and give you the price I quoted, I'm going to order them without any angles, and they'll need to be trimmed during the install. That's the only way I can keep them at the quoted price. I hope that will work for you guys.
If so, doesn't sound like it's that big of a deal to trim.
And, just to clarify, exactly where will the opposite end of the stripe end (approximately)? I know you gave an overall dimension, but looking at your pic below, just curious where the vinyl will end.

I've submitted the final art and the colors I'm looking for. I should have a purchase order tomorrow so we can finally get rolling on these. This is definitely a first for me.
BTW, can you upload a pic of the art, or a photoshop pic of the final design? Thanks again.
Yeah what he said. Thanks Steve

I don't know how much more patient you guys could be, and I certainly appreciate it. I've requested quotes from a couple of other shops. The one I was working with kept changing the quote every time I talked with them, and just happened to forget little details, like I wanted different colors, and that I needed two different sides, etc. So I'm looking elsewhere to see if I can get a better deal. It works out to being an ok deal, but I'd have to buy 50 white stripes and 50 black stripes. I think I may have found a company who can do matte, too. Also, I'm starting a leave of absence today because my fiance is due any day now. If she doesn't go into labor right away, I'll be able to check out a couple of local places as well. Once she does have the child, I might be unavailable for a few weeks. Our child is going to need heart surgery when she is born, so I hope you'll understand if I'm not around at that point. I want to get these out to you guys and on your cars, but I'm not trying to go broke doin' it. I'll find the right deal, but it may take a bit.
Thanks for the update, Steve.
Definitely sounds like you have bigger things going on than rocker stripes.
Put this stripe project on the back burner until the home front stabilizes. I totally understand.

I said a prayer for your family, Steve. And yes, don't sweat the stripes. We are a patient bunch.
If the cost is too much for you to bear alone, maybe you could find someone else to go in on them with you. I know there are a couple of people on here that sell small stuff that may be interested. Just an idea.
