Has anyone found a shop in the DC area that will install stripes? I don't have a roof rack and I'm looking at doing a shadow racing stripe from front to back on my all Dark Silver MCS. I have read most of the posts on stripes on this board and have found that many folks have found sign shops that will do them for less than $100, but every place I call says they can't do them. The one that did wanted almost $400 to put them on.

This might be a longshot. Maybe not. They're out in Chantilly.

These people are Mazda specialists, but as such they do alot of aftermarket work and install convertible tops. I certainly imagine they have all the skills and equipment to do to the jobs and might even be interested in adding another niche to the business.

I was thinking about using them to do some install and tweaks if needed once my MCS came in.

Good luck. Please post your results. I'll be getting some stripes late summer too.

Hello,

My name is Hai (am a guy) and I'm new to the MINI as well as this forum.

I used to drive a Miata, and am quite familiar with Performance Buyers Club, Chantilly, Va. To the best of my knowledge, it does not do stripes. In fact, I believe Pete (the owner) farms out any exterior decal/striping works. (Of course, things may have changed since I suggested to Pete to take on the MINI.)

I had a roof flag, bonnet stripes, and tinting done at Zebra Stripes. They are in Chantilly, call 571-233-4698. They do excellent work at reasonable work. They do a lot of work for dealers as well as individuals - They do the bonnet stripes and roof flags for MINI of Sterling
