No James, I was not the one cutting the VIN's out, those were some people in the UK. They had made a neat version of the stripes except using colors and thin vinyl like that what is used on a sign. The major difference in thiers, a sign shop and mine is that I use the exact same texture color and gloss as the original. No sign shop will have this or even know where to get it because it is not in the books. The material I use is not used for sign cutting, and the plotters need to be specially calibrated and use a special cutting blade because of the extreme thickness of the material. However, I can certainly cut out anything anyone wants out of them, VIN numbers, words, whatever. I can also do other types and colors of vinyl, even chome and gold foils! I have the sripes marked all the way down to $99.99 with FREE SHIPPING. I have 4 sets on hand if anyone needs some. http://dfwdmc.com/ Sorry for the shameless plug :> Anyone who wants to see my stripes in person will get the chance to see them on my car when I visit the DMCH Open House. Unless you look very close, (within inches) you would not be able to tell the difference from mine or a set of originals, with the exception of most original sets have turned ashy and gray. If your stripes, rubber strips, or black bumpers have turned ashy try some "TRIM SHINE" and it will make it black and glossy - sprays right on! Thanks. - Videobob PS: For those of you who have always wanted a real set of original side stripes, I have the actual original unused mint condition set that I used as a template to make my reproductions. I am considering selling them for $500.00 because I believe they are the only unused mint condition set of dealer stripes left in the world. Unless someone else comes forward to reveal that they have a set like this, still on the contact paper, with the instructions and etc. parts, I will continue to make this claim ;P If you are interested in them, let me know. >From: "James" <james@xxxxxxxxxx> >Reply-To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >Subject: [DML] Re: side stripe files (where to get) >Date: Wed, 25 May 2005 20:08:01 -0000 > >I think VideoBob was selling them with the VIN numbers cut in to them, >or perhaps it was James Russell-Grant in the UK. > >In any case, if you just want the files to take to your local sign >shop, then email me at james (at) delorean.com and I can send them to >you.
