I'm interested in applying the side stripes from the RTR kit... does anyone make a kit that accurately replicates the real RTR cars?

I have seen a few cars out there with custom stripes and they look good but they're usually a bit off...too wide, etc.

Any info would be appreciated!!

In the meantime, I sent a note to RTR to ask about this since they don't seem to offer the vinyl on their web site. I will keep everyone posted.

Well, here's the respose:

"...We do not offer our gra‎phics kits separate. The only way to get them is with the full RTR Spec 1 or Spec 2 kits. Let me know if you have any other questions and I will be happy to help!

Thank you"
...

It was worth a try.

Yeah, I think they forced AM to remove the "RTR style" hood graphic they were selling. A local sign/vinyl shop could match it pretty closely, though.

Get in touch with bob white decals. Com. I'm pretty sure he can deliver what your looking for. Tell him irv recommended him.

MRGTX

Thanks, Irv.
I just sent a note to Bob...

There's something about that very subtle blue on blue stripe that I just dig.

MRGTX

Bob got back to me very quickly! He seems like a good guy to work with...

Unfortunately, he can't do it...sounds like there are proprietary design concerns which is understandable.

Anyone who is looking around, check out www.bobwhitedecals.com.

I just got another note that Bob is willing to extend a 10% discount to forum members.

If you guys were thinking about stripes, now might be a good chance.

You could always grab some pinstriping tape, mask off the stripe area, and plastidip it.

Or, you could take a picture to a good pinstriping shop/body shop and have them paint them on?

MRGTX

Interesting idea with the Plastidip! That might be a fun weekend project...

I'm definitely not up for painting them on...I suspect that a few years down the road, I'll regret it and want them off.

Lol there ya go then. Grab a couple cans of the bright blue that they offer, some of the thin green pinstripe tape, mask if off and go at it!

I put these on recently. Bought off ebay. I think they look closest to the original RTR stripes. you can get them in different colors too;
search ebay for "2010 2011 2012 Mustang GT Custom Vinyl Stripe Kit"

If you want the RTR shape/design you could try knifeless vinyl tape.

Has anyone tried this? Sounds interesting....

I'm going to be soon. I came across it when I was buying the vinyl for my P-51 graphics. I'm going to try it myself pretty soon! I'll let you know how it goes...
