I think I am going to risk going to the company here in town that doesn't have the fancy certs that the main company does... They have been open about 5 years longer though. I got quoted about $1,000 dollars less total. . .

I just have to find a color.

How much did racing stripes cost you? A local place wants nearly 1800 dollars to put that on top of a wrap they will already be doing.
I was charged like $850 for the vinyl stripes/pinstripes, and then I got a full ceramic package so I think they gave me a good deal. I got the ceramic x4 lifetime coating (ceramic pro) and also did the inside. I can't tell you what a difference the ceramic coating on the inside makes!! Holy smokes. I felt like without it you touch anything and it leaves a mark. They did an amazing job. They are still gonna do the wheels, when the calipers get powder coated in a couple of weeks. Also gonna do the mirrors gloss black. They also wrapped my antenna black that cost extra but, love the look. I'll post pics when it's all done. I think I'm gonna do a crazy color on the calipers.

Your car looks amazing though! Mine were 3m too gloss black. They did them in just black, but I saw another car they did with the pinstripes and I loved it, so had to add them. I'm gonna do a crazy color on my calipers too. Why not have fun and enjoy it!?! I know you know what I am talking about with that copper! That is sooooo cool.

I got stripes and the first place just really did a terrible job. Had them redone, and I just love it. It's now going to get ceramic coated, but they did send me some in progress photos! Haven't seen one with pinstripes yet, but I'm sure they are out there. Benefit of getting a select...haha. Full stripes.

Mine were $880 on top of the wrap. 8" wide with a 1.5" gap...which required a custom job (not a pre-cut kit) because 1" is the standard. I have always thought that 1" gaps make the stripes too-squashed-together.

I'm not a fan of most modifications or aesthetic changes but this looks REALLY good!
Me too. I'd love to see racing stripes on a grabber blue!

I love your car! Looks amazing. I really like your license plate decal on the front. I'm in CA too...do you think you are gonna get away with that? Just curious if you'll get pulled over. The car alone will draw attention. I love the idea, just not sure I want to risk a ticket. Looks awesome though

The decal plates are legal in CA.

I’m in WA, we require front plates; but I haven’t run with one in 20 years.

The California DMV sends you a letter, attesting to the wrap plate's legality. Additionally, the official letter tells you to carry the original metal front plate, and the official letter, somewhere WITHIN the car (they're in my frunk). These two items are what you show to any obnoxious CHP, sheriffs, cops, etc. No worries, be happy.

Oh wow! I love it. That's cool. I carry my original plates under my trunk. I ended up getting some of the black and yellow CA plates made on Etsy. They look just like the ones from the DMV. I just got them made with my same CA issued plate number and put the original date and registration stickers on them. I had it on my old car and never had a problem. I don't care about the personalized plate number, I just wanted it for the color/look of it. The decal is cool though.

Etsy plates do NOT qualify. The listed company above is the only company licensed by the state to do these, and the only one to notify the state, and to get the official state letter sent to you.

Additionally, the wrap plates are for the front ONLY...can't use 'em on the back of the car. The reg tags MUST go on an official metal plate, on the rear ONLY.

Oh, I know the black plates I got don't qualify....but I don't think cops will ever know. They just see the plate number when they pull up the vehicle. My plate looks exact, matches the number, and has original stickers. I'm willing to take the risk. If I get caught, I'm playing dumb. Had them over a year on my old car, nothing ever happened. They look original. Same number, original date and registration sticker. How would they know?

Awesome looking stripes; but what is the Red car behind the Mach E?
