Freak... thanks man... I'm running down the tank to below quarter before I start using it.

Fellas, need your opinion on something. My 'girl' has a couple scrapes on her. I'm considering flashing her over and getting her buffed. I'm one for originality but replacing the stripe is expensive.

My options are (in order of increasing expenditure) :-

1. Do nothing, leave van as is.
2. Touch paint, buff, leave stripe
3. Touch paint, buff and remove stripe
4. Flash over, buff and not replace stripe
5. Flash over, buff and replace stripe.

What do you guys think?

Saeid.... thanks for the reply. All or nothing. There are couple black SR5s without the stripe... I guess that's based on owner's preference.

323 Wagon_Dude it's a stick on... digital printing. I'm looking around to see if graphics shop can make one. If it's too expensive I may just hold off... someone told me Toyota has it for $6000. I haven't gotten that confirmed.

Check out these headlamps....

Sweeks i can tell you that digital stick ons don't last very long. the original stickers are screen printed on clear vinyl. that's why it's so durable and cost so much. the ink that is used for digital will fade fast. it will last a longer it it's laminated tho. but then after you do all that the sticker will be thick and raised above the paint like a ridge in a "not to pleasing way". a custom painted stripe airbrushed on will look wicked too and you can do it in whatever color and/or design you want.
