Was thinking of replacing my stripe with the 70 Grabber stripe. No GRABBER cut out. Question is.... I remember seeing a Grabber with a reflective stripe. What do you guys think of the reflective stripes?? Considering a 70 stripe but reflective?? Am I way off base here?? Pheonix Stripe company OK??
I'd go non-reflective. As for your other question, I think the consensus is that Phoenix make a good product. I only dealt with them once about 12 years ago but I was working on a Trans-Am. Somewhat more involved than a plain Grabber stripe. It would have been be extremely easy for them (and me) to screw that up, but parked next to a stock TA you'd never know the decals weren't factory.
Our stripe guy that comes to do our cars at work did it. He saw my car in the lot and came in to tell me it needs a stripe. I planned on it anyhow so we threw it on the hoist and thats the stripe we came up with. He spent about 3 hours and tried a couple of different things. Hundred bucks cash.
White and reflective on Grabber blue is what I say .......but thats because mine came that way! Do what YOU want!
Darren, Hamilton is a little drive but I see your not far from Wayne G's town. You must play hockey. Anyways is your stripe a solid or does it have accent stripes on the top and bottom ? Is it the same height as the marker lights ? Any closer pics would be nice, Thanks Rick
Do not buy from Graphics Express, They dont contour around the fender well properly, Phoenix graphics is the only way to go
Graphics express sent me 2 sets, both sets were identical, Mesaured and put the sets on my Survivor Grabber and they deffintly arnt cut the same around the fender wells as the Originals, Graphics express stripe is thicker around the fender well taking up more space and not allowing the tiny bit of paint to show , not to mention lengths wernt identical either, When you line up around the side markers in the original spots, the Stripes themselves sit on the car in a different position than the originals, with these Stripes all you can do is spend countless hours trying to get them to look the best you can and thats what we did. heres some quick pics, we have about 20 Hours in putting Graphics Express set on the blue car, but since the stripes were so far off we did what we could. Original Stripes are of much better quality, Phoenix graphics set are much better I bought A set back in late 90's and they were very close to originals. ALSO NOTICE 1/4 INCH STRIPE AND HOW FAR GAP IS ON THE ORIGINAL YELLOW SURVIVOR,
Your factory stripe looks kinda off to begin with. I have talked to guys that put the stripes on the cars when they were built, they just ended up were they left them, quality back then wasn't what it is today.
