Dual Black R/T Stripes Source

681 Views 22 Replies 14 Participants Last post by  Hal H
Have 23 R/T in Sublime coming in without stripes. Dealer can't order on car as it is already built and awaiting delivery to dealer. Really want those stripes.
After a lot of digging, dealer found each individual stripe section, but no kit or package. After getting prices on individual sections $$$, he recommended I find an aftermarket source.

1/ Is my dealer's parts guy lost and there is a kit available that they aren't finding? If so, does anyone here have the part#?

2/ If I have to go aftermarket, who makes the best quality decal package that is proper OEM design?

TIA

There are a variety of venders out there. I used vinylgraphicspro.com for my side stripes simply because I liked their version of the stripe and how it was narrower at the tip. I used ridergraphix.com for the hood stripes:

The key is ordering the right material. I specified the Avery Supercast (Wet Install) in 470SC Burgundy for both sets. It's a translucent material that allows the metallic in the paint to either reflect or absorb the sunlight for some cool effects in shade versus direct sunlight.

I assume you are looking for the exact duplicate of the factory stripe, and they do offer that as well.

Rider Graphix is where I purchased mine from. I installed them myself.

If you have a local graphics shop near you go to them, their machines can cut what you need and they can install it perfectly. Usually all you need is a picture of what you want and they can do the rest.
What others said. It's usually cheaper and a higher quality product if you find a local graphics printer/installer in your area. They can custom measure and cut the vinyl you want and either install it for you or give it to you to do yourself. You can get the factory stripe kits (Amazon is a great place to start), but they're needlessly expensive. The black stripe kit on the Mopar OEM side is "carbon."
An FWIW about Rydergraphix.

Myself and another member here ordered "TA" style stripes at about the same time from him.

My installer couldn't get the mirror cut outs to line up properly.

I contacted Rydergraphix about this issue, and he blamed the installer. He stated that his graphics are perfectly cut and this was not his problem.

Funny thing, the other CT member's installer was having the same exact issue, and got the same line of BS.

I wouldn't have this guy cut anything for me again.

He went from a friendly nice guy to an absolute jerk when confronted with his error.

Those TA style stripes were not cheap. The vinyl quality seemed good, but the mirror cut outs were off, and he wouldn't do a thing about it other than turning into a smart-ass with two customers at the same time.

Caution given about this guy.

Are you wanting the later 2015 and up RT stripe kit or the earlier RT Classic stripe that came on the 2011-14 models?

That was one reason I did not use the ryder side stripes. I don't think a lot of the stripe companies know that there is a difference in door handles and mirror bases/locations depending on the year of the car. But they were the only ones making the hood stripes I wanted.

Thank you! It is my wife's favorite color. She saw me doing the "build&price" not knowing I was actually ordering a car when she said: "I love that color. I always wished my Charger was that color. You should buy me a car in that color, honey". So unbeknownst to her, I ordered it on Valentines Day 2022. When it showed up 6 weeks later she was very happy. (I didn't tell her what it cost of course, but I did get back in the day when you could get a Redeye at a 6% under invoice deal.) And it turned out to be a 1 of 1 built Redeye in Octane Red/Demonic Red interior with the Granite pocket wheels.

Happy Wife=Happy Life!

How unfortunate. Things happen in any business, what matters is the response.

I have purchased 4-5 sets of stripes from them. They have all been good, including the fitment. I made a mistake on this last set, and they were very responsive and helpful.

Go figure..

Like the Classic with two bold stripes, but thinking I should get 15 and up that should have been on my 23 when dealer ordered it.

I understand. If you cannot find the OEM stripe kit for the 2015 and up( I haven't checked to see if the whole set is available in the parts catalog yet) Phoenix Graphix has them and they are a Mopar approved. If you should decide to go with the earlier dual stripe set the OEM part number for the whole set is 82212650 for black. They run around $350 but can be found cheaper on the internet rather than go through your dealer. Good luck on which ever you decide.

That's what I want when mine ware out.
So you did really good there, very nice research and thinking that though, those kinda stripes, I like the way they blend with and outta site with the light.
Like the matte black on a pitch black T/A.
This is the first time I've seen another color. 😎
Notice you said "when yours wear out". Is the life expectancy of these decal kits not good? Are OEM better?
I have friend with 71 Duster he bought used in 73 with big "340 WEDGE" decal on hood that still looks good to this day with just regular care.
I don't want to be changing decals every few years if better options.
Depending on how the car/graphics are taking care of for the most part.
I'm meaning wear by time and things that happen to the graphics. Kids in my neighborhood throwing a Frisbee and low and behold, really bad throw and hit my trunk lid, so there's a small mark on it.
When my car went to the body shop, the guy left slight thumb nail marks above the door handle because he didn't just lift the handle and pull up and out.
Previous owner shut the hood by touching the top of the hood where there is slight coloring from oil/dirty hands. You can close the hood on these cars by the latch because the hood closers are just hydraulic closers like on your screen door, pull the hood so far down and it shuts it self.
If you watch for my nitpicking just about any you tube video, the person will pull down on the top of the hood, will touch the door by the handle to close it instead of the handle.
The trunk lid, get a pull strap instead of pushing down from on top of the spoiler.
I mean ya know, stones fly, a bird hit, scratches can happen. I do not EVER set anything on my car or lean against it.
So yeah, eventually, my car is garage kept and sits in the sun when out and about.
I laugh at some of these you tube guys with a high dollar 68 - 70s cars and then they put their finger prints by touching it. Rings,watches can leave marks. It just bugs me.
Then you have these other guys who change their oil every week and send it off to be analyzed. 😉 so call picky where ya want.
I drive it and take care of the car as best I want to, when I'm done, it's the kids problem 😄😄😄

I have had the '71 style side stripes on my car for 7 years now and they still look great.
My thoughts though, are any stripe on a horizontal surface is going to get hit with sun more than a side stripe. So possibly a shake down style of stripe might not last as long as a side stripe. Now, I'm just talking about everyday drivers that aren't garaged.
I had factory RT stripes modified for wide body.
