New boot stripes or replace bonnet stripes?
Help me choose.
I've got a credit of $50 on my CC so I need to spend it. I want to replace my worn looking bonnet stripes but I also want to put on a pair of boot stripes. She currently has no boot stripes.
I'll do both at some point but for the here and now, what should I do? Help me pick which one to do rignt now.

I would replace the bonnet stripes with a good high quality vinyl from a local sign shop, so when you're ready to do the boot you can have it done in the same material. IMO, the factory stripes are a low grade vinyl(?) that doesn't wear very well.
Here's a pic of my black car before I sold it with custom "factory" stripes in a high quality vinyl...

That is the direction I am leaning right now, do the boot first and then move on to replace the bonnet. This way I can practice putting on new stripes before attempting the removal and installation of the bonnet stripes.

I did a search, found a thread on cleaning, and found a post that suggested Softscrub with bleach. Just did it and wow, that made a huge difference, they look nearly brand new again. So much for having to replace'em. Got a coat of wax on them now drying.
Time to order up those boot stripes.
