hi..I was thinking about vinyl body graphic decals,,like flames or stripes on my 07 hhr,I was wondering if there are any problems with these,or should I wait and get them painted on,which i'm sure is more expensive...thanx for any input

 

Quite a few members have vinyl stripes or decals. I'm sure they'll chime in or you could do a search for threads. Here is one of my favorites courtesy of DaRaceNGuy :

 

It's a matter of taste and budget. I did some vinyl pinstriping on mine. Something simple and on the cheap.

I got the slimline white. After a bit of practice I managed to make it come out just fine.

Another place you can look at is:

Haven't bought anything from them but they have lots of stuff. If you want to go painted, get someone reputable and check out some of their previous work.

Good luck!

 

Vinyl is definitely cheaper and it is easier to change when you want to do something different.


I will take some better photos soon. I am getting the grill & beauty bar replaced (I will explain when this saga is over).

 

I like these vinyl stripes..I'm leaning to the vinyl to save money,,thanx for the help

 

I have custom vinyl graphics, I like when you go to sell the car it takes me about 2-3 hours to turn the car back to stock ( Wheels, audio, and graphics) and sell all the parts and you get more money for the parts. It will better if you trade or sell the car, when you have a custom car it limits the amount of people that will buy the car. I have all my stock parts labeled and stored away. I have to have a custom car, but most people dont.

Thought this was a subtle addition from dealer graphics. Was a easy install followed excelent instructions. Hope the pic works.

Looks like I'll have to figure out how to include a pic.
