Started putting stripes on my car.
 

Well, so far this has been aggravating. It's not realy hard, but some how it gets dark every time I start one of my stripes, and because of this I've messed up one of the hood stripes and one of the roof stripes. I doubt I have enough to go from bumper to bumper, so I'll probable go from the front bumper to the trunk.

Here's some pics of my progress so far.

You missed a stripe on the roof.

When i did mine, i had to do the front bumper 2 times, i had to re-do one of the front hood stripes, and one of the rear bumper stripes, and i still had like 6 feet of stripe left.
just be patient, and take your time. dont apply too much pressure, and work from the middle out. Its lookin pretty good dude.:)

Yeh, I had just finished messing it up, before posting this thread.
And you see how dark it is in the pics. Man, the sun goes down fast around here.

Thanks,
Hey, exactly how much spaceing is between your stripe and pin stripe. I remember you saying a 1/2 or 3/4, and all I could find was 3/4. The 3/4 looks a little to wide.

I cant really remember, i wouldnt expect more than 1/2 inch

yeah...that happens when u start them in the evening...

hahahaha...sooo true.... :D

Man thats going to look sweet...................I cant wait to see th finished product..Where did you get the strips?

Good stripes. Ive got them on mine, a buddy of mine has his truck done with these. I think Venom got his here too.

All in all good stripes and not too hard to do.

did u wash your car before doing that i hope looks dirty

I belive you put them on by spraying soapy water on the car.

Should look great when your all done. I installed some less tedious stripes and they came out pretty good. My 1st time. Get an early start and take your time. Plus get as much info on installation as you can.. GL and take some pics when your all done.. ;)

So far, so good. Just take your time.

definitely don't rush stickers. I rushed putting on the "4.6L V8" hood decals and it was raining that day and I had to go to work so after getting out of work...I look at the hood, and the "." of "4.6" is gone. So now I use a square piece of duct tape as the dot. it blends in pretty well but woulda been better if I just waited.

What size stripe are you using? 6" or 8"?

Yeah dont do your stripes on a rainy night. Plus you should actually do on a warm day in the shade. over 45 degrees but under 80 degrees I think I read that. :confused:

also when your all done park it in the sun all day. It will remove any little bubbles left over. If it's the good 3M stuff dont worry bout them little bubbles, they will disappear.. My side stripes had me worried after I was done. But now it looks like it was painted on

ya hey slappy i JUST ordered my stripes off of www.rallystripes.com i am gonna install them ASAP. i asked you about them a while back and other stuff came up in that time... well i ordered the 8'' inch black stripes with pin stripes. i will post pics ASAP.

stripes rock :)

How do you think black stripes would look on a 2001 White saleen

If i were you i'd go a vivid electric blue for the stripes. Personally, i think it would stand out more and look way cooler than black.

I Agree Blue Would Look a Lot Betta.

theres a pic of a roush 380 r w/ the blue stripes....that wat im getting along w/ some sort of body kit....prolly the 380r

Yeah. Electric blue on white looks sick.

Alright heres what I managed to get done today. I'm almost done, so tell me what you think. :)
PS. don't comment to much on how dirty it is, I know its dirty and can't stand it. It'll get a good bath when every things done.

Looking good! you got enough to do the bumpers too?

Still not sure, I'm going to meassure out every thing I got left to do tomorrow, and hopefully finish it up.

So whats up with yer bumper? that just dirt?

heh. Yer car is gonna look just very similar to mine. <grin>
Its gonna turn a lot of heads.

No its not dirt on my bumper, it's bugs I live in a country type area and there everywhere.
Did you paint your calipers, or is that the bulitt calipers?

I want these stripes on my DSG what do you think Lance? Csled?
