I paid my local sign shop (Sign-A-Rama in Arvada for anyone in the Denver Area) $30 for materials and $45 for the installation.

Hope that helps :smile: What type of stripes are you going to do?

How does free sound?
Well, mine are free because I make them.
But depending upon the thickness and the length of the stripes,
you would be looking aroung $30. Then you could install them yourself
and save some money.

I am too going with the Viper style racing stripes.
I'm installing them tomorrow.
I'll post some pics then.

Hey MiniMac, have you put on your stripes yet?
I'd like to see them.

No I haven't yet. They are rolled up in the back seat.
I wanted to put them on last night, but I didn't get a chance...got to dark.
I did my roof and rear window instead.
ou might have seen the pictures on the "show me your roof" area.

I think I am going to do it on Friday night though.
I have been busy working on stickers for everyone here in town.
Made some sweet MCO stickers.
Made a cool NOS sticker........
I will be leaving for DISNEYWORLD for a week, but I will post pictures when I get back.
If you want a set, and want to install them yourself, I could help you out.
But I know it isn;t the easiest thing in the worlld to do...especially if you have never done it before.

But I think the $75 is a good deal.

I've seen them run anywhere from $30 to $50 in this area of FL at the local shops.

We sell our bonnet and boot stripe packages for $99.00. The kit comes with complete installation instructions and install tool and Cooper Flags window decal. Our stripes are available in balck, silver, white, yellow, red and a variety of other colors. We can also custom match MINI paint colors for a bit more with our 4-color print process.

Having MINI cut out in the stripes would be simple enough.
That has been my excuse...I want something more than just plain old stripes.
I did see something in a magazine today. I liked it.
I have a 5 hour plane flight to Florida on Sunday. I will spend the time designing some stuff.
I will send you some of my pictures when I get back.
Let me know if I can help you out.
I have no problem helping out MINI owners make their MINIs different.
I'll hook you up....just as the other guys I am helping out.

Email me if you have any ideas or pictures if what you want.
