I just gave someone a quote for a Jetta - $30 plus shipping for a pair of 4x48 adhesive vinyl rectangles. A truck might require slightly more material. That one-time price I quoted the Jetta guy is subject to change.

Got any pictures of your truck before it is reincarnated as a counterfeit MINI?

No, you are not going to put bonnet stripes on that sweet old Cherokee Chief! Being a Jeep enthusiast, I am strongly opposed to it!

kool,

Measure the Great Pumpkin's "bonnet" for me, and I'll see if OctaneGuy can cut some black vinyl counterfeit stripes for you!

Or......go get some EXTRA-WIDE electrical tape!

i think i set of black stripes on the hood would look nice (if done right)
and vinyl is removable
btw: that's still the factory paint from 1977
also: the Jeep is my winter beater

Need I remind you of the NAM rules, specifically with regard to Site Rule #2?????

One more personal attack outburst like this and I will have to report you to the NAM administrators!

But for your cheap answer, just go down to your local sign shop and ask for 108 inches of black vinyl. shouldn't cost you much more than $10 or so. . . .

My husband uses magnet strips on his motorcycle. Perhaps you can find some wide mangetic strips.
