Just find a good sign shop, tell them what you want: the color, width and
length of the stripe(s). If you find a shop that does the vinyl for trucks,
they should have a wide variety of colors.
I had a local (Baltimore) shop put on the stripes as well, and the total
bill was about $200 including various (some large) custom vinyl magnetics.
If you install them yourself, the secret to success is to spray the adhesive
and the car with a _very_ dilluted solution of dishwashing soap. The soap
solution temporarily disables the adhesive so that you can move the vinyl
around and get it placed exactly where you want it. Then squeegee (sp?) the
soap solution out from under the vinyl when you have it placed where you
want it.
The best part is that you can remove the vinyl later if you want to change
colors or go back to an un-striped look.
You can see my stripes (on my Miata - try not to gag) at
