interesting.... But very dull colours. or is it just faded digital printed ones (sorry that's me being a smart ass)

Im looking forward to seeing the real ones in the flesh... Im interested to see if they are done properly (screen printed) or just digital printed crap...

The stripes for the VF series are being produced (sit down for this) in Michigan USA. They are also not available as a spare part order from GMH yet.
So if you damage your new VF Sandman and need replacement decals, you're going to have to know someone.

Part of the global economy I guess.

Still pretty silly.

I'd imagine that GM US would have their own decal production plant in Michigan. Americans love racing stripes and it's probably a pretty profitable arm of the company.

I'm sure we all know someone in Michigan.

It is a 3rd party outside of GM that is producing them. I agree they would have the GM contract to supply decals, but for such a limited run for these stripes why not an Australian manufacturer?
