I have vinyl ones and they were in expensive, and they have with stood alot, and they are removable, when you want to change to something else.

Too each his own ... stripes are just that... stripes.... yes it started back in the day on muscle cars but so did flames, lightning bolts, etc.... doesnt mean you cant put them on cars of the now...

To me its a love / hate relationship with my stripes... some days i love them... some days i seriously freakin hate them.... but in the end... still sets it off nice!

You really think you will still have this car in 8-10 years? if so then go with paint, if not then go with vinyl, and make sure they use cast vinyl, 8 year minimum and you dont have to worry about it.
