So after waiting since May 26th, my car is finally built, awaiting shipping! (side note - Deysha had no info for me for months, checked almost weekly, then BAM, my car is built and will be delivered in 10 days, So just because you don't get a build date doesn't mean its not getting built!)
Anyway, I want to get aftermarket racing stripes on it before I take delivery. This was mentioned at order time and they told me they have "a guy" that does that for them (not the Ford body shop). So I'm finalizing this yesterday and ask to meet the stripe guy to discuss options, maybe at his shop, do some computer mock ups, etc. The sales guy looks at me like I'm crazy and tells me not to woory, he'll take care of it. I insist I want to options and he begrudgingly says stripe guy has to see the car, then gets his book out and puts it next to the car so I can really see how it looks! Really? A sample book? Everything in my soul said "DO NOT USE THIS GUY!":frusty:
So My question is: How do I find someone to do this? I can't seem to get the right search terms in google to find a shop. Do regular body shops do this? Is this something I can do with out messing up the car?
Thanks all! Opinions on above scenerio welcome too!

1) check out http://www.bigwormgraphix.net/ and come up with a combo you like.

2) Order your combo

3) When it arrives, either install yourself or take it to local shop.
or
3a) Drive to Big Worm in Fort Worth and have them installed. It'll give you a chance to get that new car broken in. :headbang:
