Negative Side Stripes, who makes the best/most accurate? Options

[Johny Blackstain]

I was never happy with the negative phoenix red (orange) side stripes placed on my LE after the repaint- just a 1/2 ass job & 1/2 ass stickers (sorry George/AA but you earned that one), especially on such a nice repaint. Peeled em off & got myself 2 sets, 1 from AA & another off of evilbay. They both suck & & are not spaced right/scaled right or cut right. I know what they're supposed to look like, having been around the car for 40 yrs now & was going to take advantage of the warm weather this weekend to put them on. Well, that idea went up in smoke like the money I spent on the 2 sets I have lying around.

Pics below are before & after; right now she's bare white. Does anyone know a good source for these stripes?

I have the LE side stripes available for both the Creamsicle and Bumblebee Albert, excellent color match and full length so they go into the wheel wells.

But...what's the problem with the set you look to be installing?

Ah Jeff, it figures you'd have the answers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Plain & simple the AA set is too short & the scale is off- note above, how fat the vertical line is on the "E". The other set I got, from evilbay, is not cut right- when you line up the H over the back door seam on the drivers side, or the O on the passenger side, it leaves me short of the wheel well. As you know, the name is supposed to be centered between the wheel wells & wrap all the way into them. No way of doing this with the sets I have & the scripts are not in scale with each other so no way to mix & match either. Pic below is/was the passenger side- O is not where it belongs, end of the H is too fat & again so is the vertical line on the E.

I have all the right tools, watched videos on you tube on how to do it, even figured out a simple cheat on measuring (supposed to be 3/4" high off the bottom seam & just used 3/4" green tape instead of marking). Looks like I'll be getting a set from you "Dr. LE" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Let me know how to go about getting a proper set from you.
