Anybody still sell or install the old black Bilstein shocks, the ones with 4 green stripes?

Never seen the green stripes anymore but you can easily paint them on using vinyl painting tape. https://www.amazon.com/Tapes-Premium-Automotive-FINE-Masking/dp/B07TKB9B51

That is what I did and what several have done here. See attached.

Search for a recent post about painting the stripes. Includes color specs and dimensions.

so then, it seems they are no longer supplied and must be created/painted?

Last ones I bought had a bright shiny decal on it. No, I do not believe they put the stripes on anymore. Easy to do though.
