If you take it through some super-high-pressure washes, it could.

You probably shouldn't use carwashes too much anyways with the dual post mirrors.

Both auto washes and vinyl racing stripes are a mistake. Avoid both for maximum car enjoyment.

unless you have the strips painted on by a body shop they wont come off

i had racing stripes for 2 years... i ordered them from customgrandam.com and never had any issues w/ them peeling, bubbling, or coming off when going threw a car wash...but then again 7 out of 10 times i would wash the car myself...

That would depend on what kind of stripe material it is, how well it was installed, how harsh the car wash is, how many times washed and how old the stripes are. Not really a true/false kind of question.

If i have a body shop paint the stripes for me how much would it cost?....

[HornetGT141]

I would think a good paint job of the stripes would be around $1,000.

becuz i dont want 2 buy the vinyl stripes and have them 2 start peeling and bubbling after a year....

[kaveman1551]

which would u prefer i go with...
if i put the vinyl on and they start to peel and bubble r they hard 2 get off?...

[Peyman]

like i said.. i had mine for 2 years without any bubbling... if you want to peel it off... you can use a blow dryer, warm it up..and slowly peel

I've worked with vinyl graphics for over nine years now and installed many stripes and other graphics on cars. A car wash won't make them peel no matter how many times you take it threw. 3M and Avery are excellent vinyl manufacturers, ask what brand of vinyl it is before you buy it.

Anybody got any recommendations on websites that i should get them off of?????
