I'm looking to buy a sticker kit for my fox 36 performance but I cant find anywhere that has some

Hi everyone. I'm not really a supple person, I can barely touch my knees. I've never been flexible, but recently I started riding a lot more and this has caused me to even be less flexible. My question is: How does flexibility affect performance on the bicycle. Will I perform better if i'm more flexible? or am I fine as is. I'm taking cycling serious now and want to better every aspect of myself. Any advice and what stretching can I do to make myself more supple? Thank You Andreas.
