My 2013 GT Premium Candy Red w/ Matte Black Stripes
Hello all. Just got my car in August. So far I'm thrilled with it. I only have one issue, and I'm looking to the community to see if I'm being too picky... I had the stripes put on afterward, of course, because they aren't offered on the GT standard... Overall, they look good and fine at a glance, but when you get close, you can see an overlap on the front bumper, and there are a couple places where they didn't get the tape all the way to the edge. It's only by small margins, which is why I'm looking for input from others. This is the first car I've ever gotten striped before, so I'm trying not to go crazy over it if it's a common thing. But if it's not, I want it fixed!
I have attached a couple clean shots of the car, and then one with the areas I'm referring to circled. The yellow circle is where the overlap is, where they had to use 2 sections of tape to do it, and the green circles are where the tape didn't get all the way to the edge. Again, you have to get pretty close to see it, but I just want to know if it SHOULD bug me, you know? Thanks in advance!

It's hard for me to tell by the pictures. But if your not satisfied I would go back. I've got a white 2013 gt and was thinking of putting stripes on it and was wondering if you don't mind me asking how much did it cost and did you have it done at the dealership?

Yeah, I know it's tough to see in those pics... I'll try and get some better ones up to illustrate... This was more to point out the locations... I did get it done at the dealership, don't recall what the cost was, it was included in the purchase price. I'd have to go back and check the paperwork... Just hoping I don't end up regretting having it done there...

Yeah that's a pretty **** poor job.. Striping is not the easiest to do and it looks like they let some amateur do it. Would definitely take it back if you paid for it.. I'm thinking dealership did it for you?
