I too tried to get ahold of Cooper Flags to no avail. Try Lyle of Vinyl Styles http://www.vinylstyles.com he is really good.

Dang, hate to hear that. Guess I'll have to discover the joys of working with someone else. Us old guys don't like it when labels get redesigned and/or products moved from one shelf to another. Stuff should be right where you expect to find it...right?

PS: I do recollect that he had fiscal challenges with the CO tax collector at MITO last year. Wonder if that was a harbinger.

I wanted basic and cheap. I went with them, and am very satisfied.

Edit: I didn't mean to imply that my stripes look cheap. For a basic white stripe, they look as good (to me) as anything I've seen. I applied mine a bit differently than most, and went straight over the cowl to the windshield.

I ordered from Cooper Flags in March and although I got an automated message that my charge card was being processed it never hit my card, and I never had any other communication from them, even though I emailed several times and called. Finally I just cancelled the order this week. Very frustrating! I too am looking at this post to see which company to go with for my stripes. Thanks for the recommendations everyone.
