I have magnetic stripes and i am extremely happy with them. They have not come off and they are so thin you cant tell they are magnetic. I would take them off every few days though just to let the paint breathe. I was unsure whether i wanted stripes and so they were the perfect solution. Only £13 including delivery! Very cheap. I would thoroughly reccomeend the woman on ebay who i got them off. She is still selling them if you are interested. Going to be purchasing magnetic boot stripes off her shortly.

When rolled up, the box that the stripes come in is tiny so shipping shouldnt be too much. Best thing to do is to email her and ask.

I have brought the magnetic stripes off e-bay too, must say they are excellent, people can't tell the difference

again same reason, couldn't decide if I wanted them or not, also like the idea of both options depending on my mood

The only problem I have is knowing which one to drive?

You dont need to buy them off ebay....

I nearly made my own, getting the material from a vehical graphics store. The stuff comes in big roles at the store and for 2 stripes of that size, cheap as chips.

They can do any colour or design aswell. Im getting some white bonnet stripes made with EB edging for my next EB MC. Chamone

Not sure they will have dedicated vehicle graphic stores in the philliphines though. Ebay maybe less hastle at the end of the day for eddieboyII. A few people have made their own though
