So I decided that I'm going to do the installation myself tomorrow. Any last minute advise. Wish me luck.

Clean the body panels really good right before each stripe install. If you're doing it outside and it's windy tomorrow, then don't do it!
I agree, get someone to help. Pulling the stripes off the backing is a PITA. Don't get the backing paper wet, it will cause the stripe to stick to it.
Don't be afraid to pull the stripe back off even after you've squeegyed it if it's not right. Sqeegy the nooks and crannies first, that means any curves like on the rear bumper.

I did mine with girlfriend. Took well over 8 hrs but came out awesome. They are from BSM and I screwed up the front bumper pieces by switching them around. They are sending new ones out, great customer service.
