Got my T/A back from the paint shop! And they did an AWESOME job! I hope to take the frame back off next week, and I need to order some wheels & tires (the only mod to the car)!

Quote from the S&S website:

"The "Cheap" kit does not feature dot fades & has seams in the corners to splice artwork together."

What brand is the "Cheap" kit that is being referred to?

I'm sure that PY sells PG, but they are not correct. Here is my rant from a couple years ago about what I think of the PG stripe kit for our Blue cars.

I am sure that S&S's stripe kit sales have increased since I have pointed out PG's short comings in this reproduction. Maybe Ralph should send me a strip kit for being his biggest supporter and PG's biggest detractor., LOL. Then I could get this JUNK stripe off my car...JMHO

I have yet to purchase or install any stripes or decals from either S&S or PG, but years ago a very wise and experienced member here recommended S&S over PG.

From what I've seen and heard since, that was very good advice!
