    mate

    don't get the track stripes. they are a great way to turn yourwonderful looking car into an ugly looking turd.

    Silver stripes on a black car might look reasonable, but black on red is ghastly.

    good luck

    Nah mate, i didnt know about the Air Hammer ones until AFTER i have bought mine i got it off ebay for $297, got a guy from clubcommodre to install it for me for a carton of beer lol as he had the same one on his ca. i watched him do it, very easy.. but if you dont know how, maybe paying someone to do it professional will save you the trouble of paying out money on your engine to be fixed incase it is done wrong.

    quick update:
    recently got bored so i sanded, primed and painted my dash stripes with matching paint
    5 coats of paint 5 coats of clear (i think.. hard to keep count lol)
    turned out pretty good, one down, one to go..

    also did my chev badge red aswell.. will chuck up photos when my front one is finished..
