It's plural - http://www.cooperflags.com/

I have not bought anything, but those who have seem to be happy with them.

They did the original roof and stripes on Percy-Bob in 2004. First rate materials and perfect install.

A couple years back the owner sold the company to someone else (one of his employees I think) and for a while the customer service suffered. From what I have heard in recent months though it seems to be back up to par with the original now though.

I got my flames...

I got my flames at Cooper Flags. They are excellent to work with. I could not find an installer in my area. So, I gave them a call to see what other options were available. They were extremely concerned and gave me several options to try and...a long story short. Don't hesitate. If they have a product you want GO FOR IT!. Check out my gallery to see the result. I love the new look and they stand behind their products.

I ordered my bonnet stipes from Cooperflags two years ago. My wife and I installed them. Installation is no sweat, even if you've never done it before.

After two years I removed them because they had a couple of scratches and because I wanted to change colors. Removal wasn't especially hard either and the paint was completely undamaged.

I haven't looked at the bonnet stripes on cooperflags.com or mightystripes.com recently, but I noticed the last time I was there that the Cooperflags bonnet stripes where "shaped" like the factory ones while the Mightystripes ones were straight like the ones I originally ordered from Cooperflags. I think I like the straight ones best.
At any rate, if you order bonnet stripes make sure they are long enough to wrap under a bit at the top and bottom. IMO that looks better than the ones that stop just short of the edge.

I can't compare them with other vendors but...

I just got silver stripes edged in black. I changed my order twice during the process and Ed at CF dealt with it with no problem. Since stripes are NOT returnable, you can ask for a free color swatch.

I did find their website less than intuitive, but it got the job done.

I think CooperFlags rocks and having nothing but praise for Ed and crew. They produced and installed my full custom roof graphic, boot and bonnet stripes.

If you're looking at doing a full roof and have a sunroof, you may want to consider NOT having the portion over the sunroof perforated. Unless your vehicle is protected from the elements most of the time, you could have some failure in the perforated portion. Mine is now solid all over and I'm really happy with it.

You don't indicate where you're located, but if you can make it to Dallas for the install, it would be well worth it!

I purchased from them around a year and a half ago. Told them what I wanted (they did not have a photo gallery like they have now) which turned out to be what they call "Large Side Stripe with seperate S logo". After talking on the phone and telling them what I wanted they sent me "Side S". I told them that was not what I wanted and they exchanged it for me making the one I wanted.

Very happy with them.

Earl

Ordered my sunroof flag about 1 1/2 yrs ago. Very happy with it. I had it installed by a place that did window tint. They did a great job. They said it was a very easy install $10 if I remember correctly.

$10.00?? Out here they won't even start their car for $10.00 to come to you and if you go to them $10.00 won't even get them out of their chair.

No kidding, Earl. I paid $80 for the install of my first sunroof graphic. $10 is really old school...wish I had a good installer at that price!

I bought the shredded union jack roof decal, very happy with it. Had a guy at a garphic shop put on and he said the vinyl was of great quality
Ask around and find a good car graphic shop or so sign shops and ask if they do car graphic's.

I thank everyone for the kind words, we really appreciate them. Christian and I work hard to produce a quality product, we actually produce and package everything we offer. Customer Service is very important to us and we try to stay on top of it, however, with Christian in collage half the day and my other business, we sometimes get behind so don't hesitate to send me a reminder if I don't get back to you in a timely manner.

Cooper Flags is a sponsor for the Dragon this year and has been given the exclusive rights to produce two custom 4th Annual Minis On The Dragon roof graphics, to be given away at the event. We are also donating four $100.00 gift certificates to DC Metro Minis to be used for a raffle, door prize, etc.

Again, thank you for your support. If you would like to discuss and idea for a custom graphic, a product on the website, or have an installation question, just ask.

Ed

CooperFlags did my center checker stripe, and it is wearing very well after 12 months in the California sun.

The only downside was that I got the stripe as a gift, but I paid for the installation - the installer cost twice as much as the stripe!

Cool to hear that Cooper Flags is the place to go for great decal graphics. I'm in the same situation as usa_3388: I live in San Jose and would need to find a local reputable installer... any suggestions? Or should I just call Cooper Flags?

Cheers

CF has four installers listed in CA...Fairfield, Glendora, Pleasanton & Pomona. Being from the "other coast," I'm not sure if any of these may be close to you.

I just spoke with Ed: great guy! Also, I just ordered a custom full roof graphic for MCS: Black & White Checkered SHRED! I'll post pics when I get get it installed.

It looks like there's a shop in Pleasanton (East Bay) that can do the job).

Cheers
