Favorite (or is it favourite) souce for vinyl graphics

Howdy all,
My R52 Hot Orange cabrio needs some contract. I want to add some striping to the bonnet and boot. I think a bit of side art like side stripes or an A-panel graphic.
Who have used and whose products are considered to be solid? Your opinions appreciated!
Dr.Phil

I'm taking my MINI to a local shop that does custom vinyl. He said only $130 for a custom vinyl sunroof decal installed. Ordering one online would have been $200 and I'd have had to install myself.

I am please with the vinyl I got from Aesthetic Creations. I installed the stripes myself (with the help of my husband). AC gave good instructions and a smoothing tool (had to make my own wetting solution but that was easy and with common products).

On cooperflags.com they have sunroof only deacals for around $80 when i looked last, but that would mean you installing them. Just something to consider - also I have heard good things about their quality.

I like Aesthetic Creations site. Mini looks like they are heading that way but "under construction" means not ready yet!

I have always enjoyed working with Lyle at VinylStyles. He's based in California, but he does road trips (especially if you get a group together). He is incredibly meticulous and has some of the best products out there.
