    So I love my FoMoCo dog dish hubcaps on my 4 lug wheels. If I ever swap the front to disk breaks, which I'm pretty sure means going to 5 lugs, are there wheels that will fit my hubcaps?

    I love that stripe, I have tryed to find some tape that wide everywhere and just can't find it. I even called the people that make the Grabber stripe and they don't make just a stripe by itself. I know you said that your striper put it on at your work, do you think he would sell enough for me to do it to my car ? It's a little drive from Owosso mi to Oh Canada. Or are you coming to Dearborn this summer ?

    The center of the stripe he had on hand. The top and bottom are just 1/4" stripe. He had it all on his truck.

    I think the center was 2 1/2" but not sure. Cars in storage. Measure your side marker its close the the width of the center stripe. He only charged me a hundred bucks cash.

    I can get you the stripe no problem if I knew the width.

    Darren The marker is 2 3/4 inches so I think you used a 2 inch for the center and 1/4 inch above and below with a 1/4 inch in between. Does that sound about right ? I would say 26 to 30 feet should do it. Could you find out what the gentleman would like for that $ ? Thank you very much
    Rick
