All graphics were shipped just a few minutes ago for anyone who has paid so far. They went out USPS Priority Mail. I had a bit of trouble figuring out how to send confirmation emails thru the software I was using to print the labels, but a few of you should have gotten emails.

Steve,
Did you get the address correction I sent you? It should have been 2071.

Hi guys, checking in from Hawaii.

Yes, I'll install these new rocker stripes and do a write-up on them. They should go on like any rocker stripes (like from BSM) so I don't expect the install to be that difficult. Just aligning and measuring everything out will be the time consuming part.

I've got lots on the 'to do' list, but I'll try and get these on as soon as I can.

Oh yeah, well I'm checking in from Florida...



...doesn't quite have the appeal it used to have back in the day, especially since I live here. And yes, I'm jealous.

Do you know where you're going to place the stripes yet? I'm going the CS route, even with the small portions at the front quarter panels.

Got them yesterday. I wanted to let you know then, but the site was down all day & night.

The box was crushed on one side, and it had a sticker from the post office saying they received it in that condition (liars). Anyway, the contents weren't affected by it, thankfully.

I'll be instaling them at the lower rocker section.

I got mine a few days ago. I'm in the middle of my Alpine/Raptor/rear cam install, so when that's complete, I'll do the rocker stripes.

Someone PMed me and was concerned about the length of these. They should be about 63" long, which should take them right to the end of the door. They do not go onto the rear fender. They were also concerned about the fade, that it faded too late. I haven't put them on a car yet and I know none of you have, so whoever does first, please report whether the fade looks correct. While they're still on the paper, they may look different. But if they're not right, I need to know so I can let this guy have it.

Hah! Not even. Those were all brand new boxes. USPS and UPS suck, but Fedex is a expensive and not as convenient for shipping.

Thank you. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Last thing I want to do is have to deal with Robert on these again.

First off, I would like to thank you, Steve, for doing these, especially during the toughest time of your life.

I'm happy to say that I'm totally content with the product. I think Rev did a good job on them. Others may have a different opinion, but I for one am happy.

I chose not to do the front quarter panels due to not wanting to shorten the rest of the sticker. If I can eventually get some extra material from you, Steve, I will do the quarter panels.

The pictures don't due the car justice. I took these fast just so you could get a feel for how they will look. I plan on taking better pictures, in better conditions soon.

Looks great!

What do you mean by not doing the front quarters?

I'll have to get on the ball and install mine soon.

Thanks, Bill. Look at this post and pic of a CS. You'll see where they put a small portion near the front of the car. http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showpo...&postcount=128

I'm so relieved that they came out well. You have no idea how stressed I was getting. I'm glad you like them. They look great! I agree, though, the pictures don't do them justice. You definitely need a piece of up front. I think I have one white set left. I'll have to carve a bit off and send you some.

Gotcha!

Did your installer apply the stripes with the transfer paper in tact or did he peel the vinyl off both the backing and transfer tape and install it (like the racing stripes)?

I just walked outside and I was again amazed at how much better they look in person.

I'm looking forward to the extra pieces. LMK how much to send you whenever you get around to it. I appreciate it.

Bill, I didn't watch him, I too busy watching my children. I'll give a call later and ask.
