Fading Stripes: Take 2 - All interested get in here!
Thanks all (especially DarkFireGT for making another run of these). I'm really happy with how they turned out. As suggested in TacoBill's instructions, I used as much solution as possible, which really allows you to slide it in place. I couldn't imagine installing these dry.
Thanks for the tip on the bubbles. I did end up "popping" a few of them, but almost all the others went away on their own.

I also think the nice thing about these is that they are all one piece, so when you do slide them around, you don't have to worry about the pin stripes separating from the rest.

The Faders look great. Install was fairly simple. Just used plenty of solution. A hair dryer helped on the door cuts a lot when making the bend and to help make them stick.

I haven't seen TacoBill's instructions but am I curious as to what this "solution" is you guys are using. Some methods are recommended however depending on what you are using might prevent the adhesive from working properly. In other words, it might be too easy for the vinyl to come off in the future.

Bill's has been on for a year. It's basically the BSM solution. Mix in a spray bottle 20 ounces of water, 1/4 teaspoon of liquid dish soap and 1/2 teaspoon of rubbing Alcohol.

If you can get 3 other people wanting the same color, I have no problems with getting colored stripes for ya. The minimum order is 5, and I don't have the funds to tie up in that.

They will be going out Monday now. How some family stuff going on this weekend. Sorry for the delay. I have to go back to work Monday, so hopefully my old lady can get it figured out.
Finally I got my black ones from US
I put them last weekend will post pictures hopefully tomorrow when will shot them. I finished them on the doors end what give in my opinion more aggressive visual effect. They are great quality and easy to stick - perfect item.
Thanks DarkFireGT

Here are the silver stripes on Vista Blue!! I couldn't be happier with them. Thanks DarkFire!! Those of you considering the silver might want to take note, they are not metalic. So if you want to match metalic silver stripes on another part of your car, keep that in mind.
