I have silver rally stripes and it was installed at the factory. Sadly, there are wrinkles in the corners and when I inquired on a warranty for them, I was discouraged from going the warranty route. In retrospect, I think it would have looked better to have an aftermarket stripe with the thin pinstriping around the outside (the classic style). But those can have the same issues if not pre-cut in which there is a visible gap around the vent opening.
FYI - this was the reply from my dealer (I appreciated their honesty):
"First, I 100% think that your defect on the stickers of your hood would be approved via GM warranty. However, in my experience I would not touch them unless it is absolutely something that you cannot live with. I have been through 3 Camaro's with collision damage that I had to replace the stickers in the past year. Not one has went smoothly for the following reasons.
1. It is a very difficult sticker that nobody at our dealership has the experience or the skill to put on properly. At the factory it is done by skilled trained professionals with a machine on the assembly line.
We have to sublet the job to a few different local companies, but have never been really happy with the results. The result has never been factory quality. Unfortunately, these companies feel like it is the best they can do and still charge no matter the results.
2. The stickers are pre-cut at the factory and ready to put on the car immediately. When we order the stickers from the factory, they have to roll them up and ship them to the dealership. By the time they get to us, they are wrinkled or damaged, or flat out unusable. My last attempt we spent 6 months getting a good sticker from the factory.(5 different
tries)
3. ALL my previous attempts were insurance collision claims. The insurance paid for multiple attempts to get it done as good as possible.
On a warranty claim they will pay for 1 attempt. If the sublet company thinks it looks good and charges us, the warranty claim is closed no matter what the result. These stickers are usually around $300.00 a sticker.
4. We did have a customer take his car to a third party and have them cut brand new stickers that were similar to the factory, however GM would not pay for it because it was a aftermarket part.
In conclusion, we have reached out to GM in the past with these sticker issues, but really got very little direction. You spent a lot of money for this car and I completely understand you want it to be right. If you would like to proceed with the claim, please contact myself or ###### (Service Manager) and he can get the claim approved and order the sticker. The car would have to be sublet out to a outside company once the sticker arrives. I would not try to get this done in the winter.
The best results would be once the weather warms up over 70 degrees.
Once it is done, their will be some air bubbles that the sun will have to bake for around 30 days. This will be a process that takes some time."
