American Muscle Racing Stripes

Where is the best place to purchase 8" racing stripes? American Muscle sells them for $99. Are they good quality?

I had AM stripes on my car and in short, I'd have to say no. Not that the vinyl wasn't thick enough, but when they ship the stripes, they are wrapped around a large cardboard roll (like a toilet paper roll for the Jolly Green Giant). The problem was that when I unrolled the stripes there were bubbled sections where the stripe seemed to lift away from the paper. When you go to apply the stripes it will make a bubble that you will have to "work out" with the squeegee. What happens, is then you will see a visible line / mark on the stripes where the bubble was. Even after more than a year in the sun, it never lost the visible lines around those spots. I'm not sure if anyone else ever noticed them, but they stuck out like a sore thumb to me. You can't beat the price on them though. Install was fairly straight forward (except for working out the bubbles). I tried finding these kind of lifted patches on stripes being installed on youtube videos and they all seemed to lay to the paper really flat so they didn't have to deal with this issue.

Hope this was helpful.
