love it. The stripes could have been about 3-5" farther from the front joint, but still nice none the less

Not a fan of stripes on cobalts at all! But to each his own I guess. Nice car besides the stripes

Going to try this out, since they're just stickers, but not going to go the 2 plain stripes route.

Dumb question but please answer it, someone:


How are you guys getting the vinyl stripes to stick? Using a heat gun or does the vinyl have adhesive-like sticky quality on the back?


I know, I know. Dumb question but I'm genuinely confused about it. I've never worked with vinyl so I just want to know what I'll be getting myself into if I decide to do this.

BTW, some of you guys have done an awesome job with the stripes.

The vinyl is like a sticker. I think it's easiest to order the stripes from some site that sells vinyl. When applying I used a squirt bottle filled with a little bit of dish soap mixed with water and sprayed the back of the vinyl and the car so that it didn't just stick and once I got it in place I used a squeegee to get the soapy water out and it stuck.
Here's a link to several youtube vids:
