They are created to be used in specific situations.

That way, you always have to go to that installer to get the exact same quality stripes, unless you go with something different.

Sometimes, the company who buys the materials in order to cut your stripes will request that the backing be left blank in order to conceal that information. The secret to finding out who manufactured your stripes lies in the adhesive backing that is peeled away during the installation of these stripes. Of course, a lot of consumers only see the dollar signs and are easily manipulated out of their money for low grade materials. They have flooded the market with their usual sub par quality junk and you can usually spot them by their low prices. Just like in any business today, you also have your Chinese knockoffs. Your car manufacturers are definitely not going to let you in on this information and your local dealerships don't have a clue. Thus, if you do not know where the raw material was purchased from which your stripes were cut, there's no way to tell who manufactured your stripes. The companies that actually manufacture the sheets that the stripes are cut from do not sell directly to the public. There are plenty of smaller manufactures but they do not do the volume, nor provide the size of raw materials that these three manufactures do. There are 3 major manufactures, 3M, Oracal and Avery. First, a little background on the industry. (The slash is otherwise part of the %1 backreference - as you used previously - because the REQUEST_URI server variable starts with a slash.This is a question that often comes up on a lot of car care forums so I decided to dig into the vinyl strip industry and get the scoop straight from the manufactures. Note the addition of the slash prefix on the substitution string, which is missing from the $1 backreference. The RewriteRule pattern is processed first, before any of the conditions, so you should do as much processing here as possible. The $0 backreference contains the entire URL-path. The entire URL-path has been matched by traversing through the URL-path. does not match anything (fails) since we have reached the end of the URL-path. * quantifier repeats the previous match 0 or more times (greedy).Incidentally, this is the same as simply. If you simply need to be successful then this is less efficient as it traverses the entire URL-path. Since it actually matches everything, the $0 backreference stores the entire URL-path that is matched. ^.*$ - This regex matches anything and everything, so it is successful for everything and matches everything. Nothing has been matched in the requested URL-path. UPDATE: For example, given a request for /abc, then the approx steps involved are: ^ - This regex simply asserts the start-of-string anchor, so it is successful for everything, but matches nothing. In both of these rules you simply need the RewriteRule directive to be successful for everything and both regex achieve that. The net result in these two examples is the same, but they are technically different and ^ is more efficient in this case.
