not really experienced in the push start although I'd love to put one in. I do however know how to lay stripes.

Hope this helps:

I put the stripes on my '01 but it should be the same for any car.

Yeap the hot girlfriend at the end of the aricle helps alot lol. I used a blow dryer to mold the stripes. However you have to be careful not to apply too much heat or stretch it out too much as it will thin out. Using a heat source will allow you to mold around the letters in bumper as well as other areas that are not flat and straight.

I preped it this way

Remove any emblems that may get in the way of the stripe. (replace them after the stripes are applied)

Clean the application area with rubbing alcohol.

After the car is clean, mix in a spray bottle 20 ounces of water, 1/4 teaspoon of unscented clear liquid JOYand 1/2 teaspoon of Isopropyl Alcohol. (if you do cannot get clear liquid joy any dishwashing liquid will work)
