HERE'S HOW MY BOX LOOKS LIKE:

BLACK CHERRY PEARL W/SILVER LINES...




AND MY BUDDY'S HOT LAVA W/BLACK LINES...

Hey Hawaiian

Yea looks really nice, your rides is one of things that got me thinking about it when i saw it on the site

Im pricing this stuff out now if u dont mind what did those stripes run you i got a price today and its seems really high so not sure if the guy is trying to take me for extra cash or this is just a pricy job

But yea im almost postive im going with silver now probably bit lighter than what u have and i might go with the extra little line the lava has also still thinking about that one

JOELXB:

My friend's shop charged me about $50.00 for the vinyl and I installed it myself.

If you have someone from a shop install it for you, it can get really pricey...

doh, u see that would be perfect lol

But im not good with stuff like this if i put those vynils on probably wouldnt come out as clean as yours look, but damn is the installation really worth the money they charge, thats the only thing that gets me, the whole job he said was gonna cost me $400 with the grill and all like yours, but ____ 350 for labor alone thats seems a bit much, what is this a 2 hour job for somebody who does it everyday so its like 125 an hour for labor. sigh

Gonna have to shop around a bit more i really want them but i dont think its worth 400 unless some of you guys who know more about this than me disagree? I will pay the 400 if thats just the going price but something dont seem right about it

was hoping to get them installed this week to with the lowering springs oh well gotta hav patients i guess

Ahhh...the Public School system's math classes pay off again. $350 / 2 = $175

Installation is not hard, just take your time and do the 'wet' method of installation, that way nothing is final until you are ready for it to be. Also blue painters tape works good as a "guide" for where to start, that way it's easy to get it straight/centered/spaced perfectly.
