[DML] Re: Side Stripes

["Dani B" <5n-@xxxxxxx>]

I thought DMCH was selling these, I remember seeing them in their "New
Products" section, perhapts it was NOS, or maybe I just don't know
what I'm talking about. Anynway, I like the side stripe idea, but a
different design and maybe a different color is what I'm waiting for.
If something comes out that looks good enough on the car, I'd pay that
price for the stripes. -Dani B. 5003
