Default Sun Strip request

Used to have a great sun strip on my old scoob and found one in the garage a while ago but it was so old that it never applied properly. So on the lookout for another.

Have looked on ebay but they all seem to do stock sun strips and I want something a little bit more custom. There used to be two guys on here that did them, Neil (stickmeup) and sizer but they seem to have gone AWOl.

So this is what I need :

Either a 3 part strip, the black strip (ideally cut to shape), Subaru lettering in Silver and the two Subaru in full colour logos. I have the full res logos if required

or

A complete sun strip in one layer as you can see in the picture



So any good graphic people on here that can fulfil the request ?

100 views and no-one has any suggestions ?
No traders willing to make up sun strips ?

must be a tough request

Swiss, the black part is just a piece of rectangle black, when you fit it, it becomes curved so there is no cut to shape as such

Oh I know that, I had seen a few around that were slightly curved but not too fussed about the strip. I am more interested in a supplier that can do the lot, strip, lettering and logos

Tony I had a similar one on my old Hawk but just the one logo....



And that was fitted at the Clinic, maybe worth asking them if they still do them or can tell you who they had them off back then! ( It was over 7 year ago though lol)
I would help you out but I dont do colour prints, only cut vinyl...

looking good there mate. It was years ago on my old scoob that myself and tiny (esc) got the inspiration from the wrc ones. Which is very similar to yours

In the end I got the bits I needed from 2 different suppliers. A bit of a faff as no-one seemed to do the one piece so back to a three part sunstrip.

Matt black looks great I think so that was from scoobyworx

And logos and lettering from Gary at subarubits





One little tip. Don't try and put it on when it is windy like I did

Do you do the sun strip cut to size or does it need trimming?

Looks great mate glad you got it sorted in the end

Looks ****e like mine black
Best sunstrip should be cut (bottom line) the same like windscreen bends (upper line), than sunstrip will be wide exactly the same all way,not like yours narrow in the middle.

seen proper one on RCM car.

The sun strip needs trimming. Not a huge pain just have to be careful

Outside. I think most sunstrips go on the exterior.
