[DMCForum] Re: DeLorean Side Stripe Kits

["Josh Porter" <joshp1986@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, from what your pictures looked like on Ebay that's what I thought 
but some companies try to take the cheap way out and use poor 
material or they don't know what they are doing and put to much tape 
on them and it's a pain in the fingertips to get off. As soon as I 
get my car running good I may order some, first things first.
