You can always have a good shop do the hard parts for you and you do everything else yourself, would probably save money that way too

I called them they have a 12" roll of the fdc 5 year vinyl at 2.8 mils thick so i should be easyer to apply then the avery. But they only have it in a 50 yard roll so, so would have tons left over also the roll is $47

A compass cutter would make a perfectly fine circle. Those are all of about $10.

for the curves and bumper maybe using a heat gun/blowdrier to make the vinyl easier to work with

That's what I was thinking for around the emblem. As for the 50 yard roll for $50, you could make the leftovers into a "superstripe" (hood only), and sell on eBay for $30 a pop!

Well that was for a 12" 50 yard roll so you can put racing stripes on your car instead i was thinking of getting the 50 yard roll and using 15 yards, and selling the rest to someone that wanted to so stripes too I figure that 15 yards is enought to do two stripes bumper to bumper with some left over for mess ups

Sounds like a plan -- post pics when you're done. Just be sure to get a good squeegee, prep the surface correctly, and take your time!

looks like you forgot to stripe the rest of the car in my opinion....
These cars do not look good with any stripes that just end at the hoos or trunklid.
I like it the way he did much better than fully striped.
