Have a look at many of the sign writing places that specialise in cars. They are easy to do but it is the sizing that is difficult to match.

I had striping on my XR 8, cost me about $300 fitted.


Just do not go putting on GT or FPV in cutouts, I suggest doing something original. If you note on mine it has "The Gecko"cut into mine. Much more unique and not as try hard as dressing it up as an FPV. Thats my feeling anyway but and the end of the day it is your car. I personally see nothing wrong with stripes on a XR, if they are done right.

Hey Mate.... I was the one that did your Stripes, that was a few years ago. It is still one of my favorites that I have done... And we did "The Jellybean" on the misses car if I remember correctly.

"Ibrox90" Yeah just go and see a Vinyl Signwriter and they will be able to do it for you no worries.... Cost should be around $220 for the Side Stripes and $60 - $80 for the Bonnet Bulge Decals... That is installed prices.

wouldn't go dressing it up as an FPV because well its not.
