[DML] Re: DeLorean Side Stripe Kits

["Bernie" <bmanderville@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mike,

The NOS stock kits will have silver DMC lettering and silver stripes 
printed on them, the repros, that I have seen, are cutouts, allowing 
the SS to show through.  The originals also have a "shiney edge" on 
them, where it appears they went through a press of some kind with 
rollers that flatend the material along the edge.  Probably during the 
application of the silver material.

Using them, well that would depend on the adhesive quality after 25 
years.  You can probably add some kind of 3M spray adhesive to use 
them, but it would be iffy at best.
