Looks great! 5 hours, that's pretty good. It took me like 10+ hours to do mine, but I am far from a pro.

Make sure it's warm outside(it was 85+ yesterday here in L.A.), put on plenty of sunscreen, have a jug of water to drink from and take your time. I allowed drying time between pieces and I remove the backing paper from the center(of the piece)with my finger-tips and roll it back slowly. I trimmed the top bumper pieces right at the lip and installed the middle piece over lapping the top piece and trimming at the lip(perfect results!). I was shocked how much easier it is to put the stripes on in hot weather(I know the heat helps, but it was a piece of cake) and I had maybe 2-3 bubbles(tiny ones) and I find that using the squeegee in a short,counter-clockwise maneuver helps from "pinching" the stripe and causing an unwanted crease[:@]. Took an hour and 45 minutes to do the front, I felt so proud afterward[sm=smiley20.gif]

Like it more than I thought I would. I too would have chosen satin silver, but your pics look sweet. The fuzzy dice have to go though.
