If you have ever painted a car yourself, and added stripes yourself (both apply to me, but not on a Cobra), then you can understand the extra effort required to do it right. Doing it right not only means measuring and masking properly, but pulling the tape at the right time so that the edges flow/blend with the color coat and minimize the seam. Then laying on clear over that and color sanding just right so that you can't feel the stripe. It looks pretty simple on the surface...measure, line tape, mask, shoot, done. It's anything but that.

Personally, I'd rather they just include it in the base price and have a "stripe delete" option where the buyer is credited $600 rather than charged extra. All in the base price marketing, I suppose.
