I worked with Kyle from KI Studios for the custom vinyl graphics for my CTT and could not have been happier. He stands behind his work and will go the extra mile. When all is said and done, you want a quality product (not a cheap misfitted ebay knockoff (ask me how I know ), so the price was definitely worth it in retrospect.

I suggest you give serious thought to KI Studios. There is a good reason why so many P-cars use his services.

Right. Mate, a 60 yard roll to do an entire car is $600 and that is top quality Oracal. $450 for a few thin stripes is a total rip.

I get quality, but these things are computer cut and that is beyond a reasonable markup, sorry.

I don't doubt your ability or quality, but it sounds a little bit too much like Porsche tax to me. $200 or $250, you'd have an order already. But at $450, I'm just not feeling it. $450 installed sure.

You even show my exact year and model car, the silver aero, so its already in the computer to cut.

My Super Bee full stripe kit was $110 and I had to install that myself too. I'd accept double for the "Porsche tax", but 4x is just silly... and in saying that my Super Bee is worth more than double of what my Porsche is.

I'll shop around I guess...

Cheers

I'm set on the RS 4.0 style. As I have 997 mirrors, I was going to paint them to match the overall theme.

Given I have the metallic midnight blue and silver 997 lobster forks, and Turbo red calipers, the overall silver and red stripes of the 4.0 look and the matching mirror style would look pretty slick.

We can talk offline if you want about pricing... Or not, up to you.

Cheers

Edited. You apparently don't need the help you asked for if you're willing to throw KI under the bus. If they're too expensive for you, just leave them out of your post. Quality and experience costs.

Sleek996 is on a distinguished road
If K1 is too pricey, go to a local sign shop or wrap shop, bring some pics with you and they'll get it done for ~$200 with high performance vinyl.

I do, I just didn't want people to tell me to go to a place that I believe is charging too much.

I didn't get this far paying top dollar for things just for the sake of paying top dollar for things.

It's fine, I found someone else already.
