Any sign shop can cut you new stripes. Spend the extra money for the better
quality material (they will carry different qualities of vinyl - cheaper
lasts shorter time). There are a variety of colors as well.

While you are there you can get new Westfalia logos made and all sorts of
stuff.

I would pay them to install the stripes too. Watch and learn, once you see
it you too can do it.

I worked in a sign shop for about 9 months 'til I realized that the owners
were going to get somebody killed sooner or later and I thought old age my
be fun to experience with my new (at the time) bride.
Apparently alot of other folks thought so too b/c they went through 6-9
employees a year in my position... <grin!>
