NZ I got them from Phoenix Graphics! Good quality!!   


Thanks 4C!!  I've heard of them many times but never direct from a buyer.

I'll be sure to look them up in future if I need any decals. :thumbsup:

I think it looks ok, but I would of rather seen the hockey stripe or leave it with nothing.  I really like the body lines and like them to be accented.  I wonder what it would of looked like black?  :dunno:  It is one bad-ass car though!!  I love the white shaker! 

You don't want to add too many colors. The black side stripes and the white top wouldn't work in my opinion. While I'm giving my piece here(again), I like side stripes. They break things up. I'm glad you did it 4C.  :thumbsup:

Come on Dave,

   At least tell me you had one air-bubble to work out.  ;) I don't want to think I'm the only one that can't put on side stripes.   :bricks1:

The more I look at it, the more I like it. Most guys would have copped out and settled for the same old hockey stick stripes. Those guys have no imagination whatsoever.
At this point I would definitely add wheel opening moldings. You need a little something to wake up the lower half of the car. They will balance the upper chrome. I'm installing wheel opening moldings on my chal convert and possibly the rocker moldings. I'm going to wait until the w/o moldings are on and see how the car looks before I plunk down $200 for rocker moldings and clips.

Well actually we pulled the first strip off and had some bubbles  . . .then decided too pull it up in the sun and let it sit for a while and then an hour later. no bubbles!!  very cool!   :thumbsup:

No imagination huh.  ::) Winner.  :thumbsup: If it ain't broke don't fix it is more the case my friend...... I agree with the wheel lip moldings and also some raised white letters on those tires would help that stripe out even more.

I think it is great how everyone can express what they like / dislike openly here. To me, wheel lip moldings and white letter tires distract the view from the cars lines. One of the things that I have always like about the T/As is that they did not come with the wheel lip mouldings, but that is me, I like the "naked" look and have never cared for polished bits here and there.

We are deffinately a diverse group.  :thumbsup:

I LIKE IT! I have always planned to put something like that on my Cuda after paint.

I'll chime in with Barry here, when the Charger and Chally were done I told the body shop to leave the wheel moldings off, in fact the holes for the side trim on the chally were also welded shut, I like the "plane Jane" look, besides to those of you who have never seen the Chally out in the sun,................that fine blue pearl really makes the body lines pop out, no shiny trim necessary. I'm not suggesting this is the way all should be done, just my personal preferance, also you don't have the eventual risk of rust starting behind them because of moisture collection.  :thumbsup:  4C, you chose wisely, even though my vote was for the hockey stripe  :cheers:

 Jim,

  Your point is well taken.  :thumbsup: As someone lucky enough to have seen your car, it is absolutely crazy what it looks like in certain light. Sometimes it is white, at other times, blue-ish. For my car, the very first thing I did was put on the wheel well trim. I couldn't believe what a difference it made. It was a new car at that point(I can dream, can't I?) So I guess each car is a different case in study here. The paint color has something to do with it too, I think.
