John, I hope you will like your stripes, and they will come out good. :-)
Wholesale Graphics used my images without my permission and it is not even their stripes. I did my stripes here locally in Florida, and WG are located in Detroit. I called them to remove the photos from the website, will see how long it will take them.

I went to a local sign shop, they wanted $450 for a European style racing stripe. For that much money I'll try to do it myself. I understand they have to mark it up for profit but that's a bit steep.

You are really need to find a different shop. It is $25-$30 worth of material to make the stripes. My shop MADE AND INSTALLED them for $80. I just walked in and told them what I want.

For that much you could have a paint shop paint the stripes.

Did you tell them it was a Smart and not a Semi?

Maybe you should say you want an american Style, your just putting it on a European Car
