Side stripes are easy. In fact, I just put new matte black one's on today. Second time I've done it in my garage. Very easy. The over the top stripes will take some doing, since there are so many complex curves. I'd probably have a shop do those.

Step 1: Go to body shop.

Step 2: Pick out paint color

Step 3: Say "put them here, here and here"

Step 4: Wait.

Step 5: Pay.

Step 6: Be happy.
+1 if your asking if you should do it yourself your obviously not 100% sure your the best for it so get someone else to do it

Is that the standard for stripes? 10 inches?
I wanted to bring my stripes down over the bumpers, measured
them and they are like 7 1/8 wide I think.
That's how you measure, the width right?

I already posted, my opininon is let the pro do it.
Just had a few questions...sorry

i seen the 8" stripes and i personally think they look to small, 10" are perfect and 12" are really wide but look good with a body kit on the car, on a stock car they look to big.... JMO.... so i got the 10" and they look great, although on certain color cars they look smaller than others, my uncles got 2x10" matte blk on his grabber orange mustang and it looks really good but seems smaller than my car..

Took me two tries to get it right. The closest place fora trustworthy install was 3 hours away. I would've had to drop it off for the day and it would've ran me $400.00+. So two kits from BSM later and I'm still ahead of the game.
