I ordered dark grey super snake for my car. I liked the subtly on the matte black, but I wanted it slightly more visible. They might be here tomorrow. I'll snap a pic if they do.

 

Got the stripes. (I figured out that the additional stripes are made by removing the precut excess vinyl in between the inch stripes and the main one)

 

Where did you order from? I am looking for Super snake stripes in matte black. I am looking for the reflective 3m material similar to the Boss stripes.

Your car will look amazing with those stripes

 

I got them off of eBay

thanks for the link. That is the first one i've seen with the proper width stripes. Are you planning to install yourself?

 

I'm not sure yet. If I can find a shop to do it for ~200, I'll let them do it. If not, I'll try and tackle the challenge. I just just bought a tuner and I'm getting 3.73 gears in the spring, so I'm "trying" to cut my mod costs.

 

Good luck cutting back on the mods. I still have to put my springs in when it warms up a bit. Just ordered a MGW shifter, and oil separator. Not done just yet though ...

 

I did mine in the garage. Yours should be a little easier since yours are pre-cut for the sections. I had to do mine on the fly. Here's the thread. If you need pointers let me know. I think I did a lessons I learned post on the thread.

I'm still debating whether I do put them on with my father, or just have a local company do it for $200.

 

Once you get the hang of it and have the process down it's rather easy. The kit I got had a ton of extra material and I actually had to do the hood two times because I let the water sit too long when I was getting the backing material wet to be able to pull it off. When I started pulling the paper came off and left the glue on the stripes. Sticky mess and I got pissed and just ripped it off. I probably could have just gotten the glue off but I was hasty and then while I was drinking a beer taking a break I realized that probably wasn't the best decision. It took me two days of just kind of tinkering and it turned out great.

 

Your car turned out really nice. Write up is also very good. I may even try to do my own after reading your lessons learned. Well done.

 

Thanks. I'm going to read over it again and see if there is anything I potentially left out. This is a habit I picked up after the English class I recently took. I'm glad that someone is thinking about tackling this project after reading my write-up. I'm not scared to do new things like the Audi S4 brakes I just helped a guy I know with. I have never even touched that car before. Life is an adventure. Embrace it.

 

Right on brother. I was a little apprehensive ripping the rear bumper off and hacking it up for the Boss diffuser install. After getting it all put back together i was really glad i did it. Life definitely is an adventure. Can't wait to see the stripes on dfinks car. It's gonna look great.

 

Hey dfink114 did you install the stripes yet??

 

Not yet. Too much snow here in Jersey. I'm just waiting for the weather to warm up. I'll post plenty of pics when I do though.

 

Ah yes the snow. Sorry assumed you were one of those lucky warm climate types. I just placed an order for some of the same stripes but will likely wait until spring to put them on. To damp and cold right now.

 

I'm over the weather here in Germany already. It got old quickly. It has been snowing like every four days and then melting and falling again. Blah.

 

Stripes are going on Saturday afternoon. Pics this weekend!

 

What about doing the SS stripes in a darker gray/silver color like tungsten? Will show up better than the satin black but not be as obvious as the silver.

Oops, never mind. I just saw at the end of the thread you went with the SS stripes. D'oh!

 

It's gonna look great. Can't wait to see the pics. You doing them yourself?
