Pre-order for Stencils & Stripes 1970-1972 Trans Am Decal Kits
 
Ok, as many know, Stencils & Stripes is out of stock of the 1970-1972 Trans Am decal kits. Last run was in 2019.

So I just got word for them to make another run, 12 pre-orders for either a white car or blue car set are needed.

I am in for a kit for a LUCY BLUE T/A -- so that is what this I am most concerned with here in this post, but please reply with what kit you would commit to buy.

NEW PRICE HOWEVER is $646.85 for the complete kit. As many know, this is the best made decal kit on the market.

Please let me know who wants to buy a set so Stencils & Stripes can put them back in production.

Let me know if for a white or blue T/A. Lets get to 12 pre-orders and have these back in production asap!

Thank you.

I'm in for a set for a white car.

R 70 Judge 08-07-2024 07:46 PM

I'm sure many are wondering so I'll ask... How are they justifying the $200 price increase? I bought a set the last run and they were only $425-$450 IIRC

That being said, if you only get to 11 kits and need one more to make it happen, I'll buy another set (White car) and just hold on to them

You can thank the current administration for the price increase!!! Anything that has an oil base in the manufacturing process has gone out of site.

" ..... manufacturing costs have ballooned since our last production run in 2019. It is important to note our off white kits are double screened on 3M Premium clear vinyl to avoid color shift when applied to the Lucerne blue body color as opposed to plotter cut black vinyl and overlaying the white in the middle. Thus our new retail price would be $646.85....."

So a white car kit should be less than the blue car kit.

65madgoat 08-07-2024 09:00 PM

Well you would think but Stencils & Stripes noted:

"PS: I also took the time to explore the kit for the white T/A. The retail price would be the same and the same amount of preorders would be needed."

65madgoat 08-12-2024 06:19 PM

Need some committed "pre-orders"........

RAIVJUDGE 08-16-2024 09:15 AM

I’d be into a kit for a white car

nostoptrial 08-18-2024 12:20 PM

S&S has had me on a list for a white car for quite a while now. Please add to it!

necdb3 08-18-2024 01:04 PM

If anyone is buying a kit for a white car and doesn't need to hood stripe, I'd be interested.

If not, I'm in for a hood stripe or entire kit if I have too.

65madgoat 08-22-2024 11:28 AM

Lets keep this going... need interested parties

Jack Ferris 08-22-2024 01:44 PM

Do the S&S stripes differ a great deal vs the PG stripes? I've read past posts where there were issues but it seems from what I've read they have improved them over the last 12-13 years? I know only what I've read from the past.

jhein 08-22-2024 02:44 PM

I'm still in for a white car kit.

71ho 08-22-2024 07:36 PM

I'm in for a set for a white car. Sent you PM saying the same thing.

I have been on his list for a white car too, so add me in for a set.

Jeff

jhein 09-04-2024 11:43 PM

What's the count so far?

65madgoat 09-05-2024 12:23 AM

Going to contact them tomorrow.. seems real close for WHITE cars --- but hardly anyone for the rarer lucy blue cars (and for me)

jhein 09-05-2024 10:40 AM

I wonder if Ames would be interested in this? Right now they show out of stock for white cars but looks like they possibly have some for blue cars. Maybe they wouldn't mind having a few kits in stock. The price is considerably higher but that's just the nature of things these days.

65madgoat 09-05-2024 10:57 AM

Ames has Phoenix Graphix in stock only...

prophet455 09-25-2024 12:11 AM

Any one know of any progress on this?

65madgoat 09-25-2024 12:40 AM

I had emailed Stencils & Stripes about the number of guys wanting white car kits (about enough to reach number desired to do a run) and he said he would check with the manufacturer and get back to me...... have yet to get an answer.

65madgoat 09-26-2024 02:37 PM

Ryan at Stencils & Stripes said he will be reaching out to those who have contacted them for the 1970 to 1972 T/A white car kit this coming week.

I would suggest everyone saying they want a set for a white Trans Am to contact Stencils & Stripes asap to get on the list.

And for those needing a blue car kit, please keep posting here as we need to get to about a dozen interested parties to convince them to do a run for blue Trans Ams. ** I only have myself and 'ol Pinion head so far wanting a blue T/A decal kit.

doublejointedyabbie 09-28-2024 08:33 PM

Count me in for a Lucy Blue car .
Thanks Mike

65madgoat 10-03-2024 02:11 PM

UPDATE:

Everyone interested needs to contact Stencils & Stripes DIRECTLY to be placed on their list so these kits can be put in to production: [email protected]


It appears from responses in this thread that there are enough for -white car- stripes to be made.


Still need more blue car owners to get that car's stripe kit made.


Thanks.

prophet455 10-18-2024 11:55 AM

Everyone really needs to call in- we only have a couple that have actually talked to them so as of right now I can’t imagine this will happen. At this point I may get one to put back because chances are slim there will be enough interest years later as low as it is right now.

Norwood 10-18-2024 02:55 PM

I put the last group buy together and it went smoothly. Obviously Ralph doesn’t want to fund this as a business. He is going to let the customers do it, that’s his right. It’s also his right to up the cost from 445 to 665. I think that may have something to do with the lack of commitment here. It’s easy to say yes till you have to pay for it.

65madgoat 10-18-2024 03:44 PM

Thanks Norwood. Trying to get myself a set of stripes for a blue T/A so why I tried now to get this going - really don't want to use a P/G kit.

Keep this thread going. Lets go!

jhein 10-18-2024 04:29 PM

I sent them an email. Do I need to call?

Norwood 10-20-2024 11:04 AM

Here is the link to our last pre buy. Ralph needed buyers to call and pay before he would move forward. So posting here doesn’t do any good , ypu need to call Ralph and pay up front. https://forums.maxperformanceinc.com...t=Trans+Stripe

prophet455 10-22-2024 09:12 PM

Clearly S&S has the reputation of being the best for these stripes. What is the difference between them and PG?

Norwood 10-23-2024 07:16 AM

When Greg developed the stripe that S&S now sells the PG stripe was incorrect in its design from its size to its lack of a clear boarder. This was an issue for many of us, when you’re paying top dollar you want a correct part. Here is the link to how the correct stripe came to be. https://forums.maxperformanceinc.com...t=Trans+stripe Since this time PG has made efforts to correct their issues. I have not measured any PG stripes but they have added the clear boarder. The PG stripe may very well be 100% correct at this time, I’m not buying a set to find out. PGs customer service at the time choose to ignore the issue

65madgoat 10-31-2024 01:12 PM

[B]GUYS:

If you want this run to happen, you need to reach out directly to Ryan at Stencils & Stripes now!! We were actually close on this forum post replies to having the dozen he needs to get the white T/A stripe kit made. Blue cars not so much. Latest from him:




10/31/24 "At this point it is a slow process moving forward. We have two orders for the Lucerne blue model and 4 for the white car far short from the twelve we are looking for each. I have spoken to a few owners who are trying to get the word out as well. If things should change I will definitely reachout to you."

65madgoat 06-12-2025 11:38 AM

Looking to resurrect this -- Ryan at Stencils & Stripes still won't make a run of these until we get a dozen orders. Anyone looking to buy a stripes kit for a blue Trans Am??

prophet455 06-12-2025 12:53 PM

I’d still go for a kit for a white car although I already went a different direction on that car.

UPDATE 7/7/025



Stencils & Stripes just confirmed they will be doing one more run!!


...pleased to announce we are preparing to start a production run of the complete kit. This will be a limited run which we expect to be our last run. With the rising cost of silk screen printing to manufacture the kits in the same format as GM, the cast 2-mil vinyl materials, and inks - we wanted to make this kit available one more time. Tentatively we are looking at the end of July 2025 to start the production run. The production time frame is 4-5 weeks.

If you are interested in purchasing a kit, please let us know. Again, this is expected to be our last run.

**The kit price is $649.00 and includes the nose bird, hood, roof, trunk, spoiler stripes, and Trans Am names for the fender/spoiler.


eaglesan13 07-07-2025 03:00 PM

Is this run just for stripes for a white car, or are they doing a run for blue car stripes too?

The final run of stripe kits from Stencils & Stripes is now expected to completed around the first week of October, 2025.
