    I'll 2nd THAT! Graphic Express has nice quality stripe kits! Somebody may have them cheaper but theirs are all setup with stencil & knotches so you know where they lineup. I got a set for my Aspen R/T & what a pain in the A$$ to install. Much thinner,not even cut apart (just one big sheet),no marking or stencil to go by. We had to cut them apart & make our own + air bubbles galore to work out. Good Luck!

    Does any one have feed back on Phoenix Graphics Maverick kits? We used their decals on our '79 Trans Am and I thought that they were excellent. Does Graphic Express have the '71 Grabber reflective stripes?

    I know nothing about their Maverick kits but I'll say my '91 Trans-Am kit from them was perfect.

    "Stripes licensed by Ford." That's the point! But my experience with Phoenix Graphics stripes was NOT as good. They were the only "licensed" Aspen stripes around and were Not like Graphics Express quality. Must just be the Mopar thing?

    Oops! Sorry if I stepped on anyones toes. The original post was which co's have better quality stripe kits & hood kits. I guess the subject of licensed product shouldn't have come up but we really don't need to be told to "Kiss It."

    I think the whole point of being licensed by Ford is NOT because they hold copyrights to it but because if theyre licensed by Ford then you know they are right and good quality, unlicensed products you run a chance of not being right/straight/whatever. ;)
