Sure. (Or seal instead of wax.) You have to avoid getting wax on matte stripes, and most guys tape off their edges to accomplish that.

Bear in mind that vinyl stripes are more delicate, so cleaning them carefully is the biggest challenge. Even a surface scratch starts to "tan" and then fade, which accentuates the damage.

I have replaced segments of mine because of cleaning damage, and ultimately covered all top surfaces of my car with clear film, primarily to protect the stripes during cleaning sessions.

Clear film? How much does that cost ? All over the top of the car?

I coated the car with Gtechniq crystal serum light. Good for 3-5 years.
We'll see how real that is.

And at what gauge or thickness?

Yes. First a guy starts out with the usual suggested coverage - front bumper, partial hood, partial fenders, etc. Then after he discovers how effective the stuff is, he goes back and covers more. (Cost - read my signature line.) PM me if you want my entire list of coverage.

Clear film is typically 0.008" thick. About two human hairs. Both Xpel and SunTek offer 10-year warranties. Vinyl is typically 0.003" thick and is not as tough. Or as expensive.

Big Worm dual narrow matte black stripes with grabber blue pinstripes.

I like that. I'd like to see how that combo looks on DIB.

Where did you find those stripes? Wanting that style in a medium silver or grey on my Oxford White.

Those look like the factory over the top stripes. My GT was ordered with those. $600 Canadian option

I'm typically not a stripes person but love those "ghost" stripes!

Thanks, They were on the car from the dealer. I have not seen another car with these stripes anywhere. The window sticker shows them as factory option

Thanks, after getting the stripes, Corsa cat back, and new grill, it was like I got in a new car

Just had mine installed yesterday, electric blue with silver pins. About to switch the rear bumper/valance to gt350 so the rear bumper isn't done yet.

People were crowded around it when I went to pick it up!

Show me your stripes!
