Default Stripe Install HELP

Hey guys i need some major help. I bought a set of gloss black roush stripes that I wanted to put on my car. I tried to install them an I ended up ruining the whole set. And I am NOT a beginner when it comes to decals. Ive installed hoodbird and pinstriping sets on many of Trans Ams. I just could not for the life of me to get the stripe to adheare correctly around the bends of the rear. I Used soap and water to wet it up, and I skweegied that **** for the life of me! but the damn vinyl just would not stick. If you look at the picture below I circled where I had prroblems. I couldnt get it to go over the spoiler either. (GT500 spoiler). I went to the dealer the other day and felt up a couple of Shelby GTs, and I noticed that the stripes were cut in half in the middle of bend in the pannel. I would like to know what in the hell I did wrong? thanks.

I hear that sharp edges are hard as hell! I was going to do some vynil on my car as I was confident that I could handle it, but I think I will be better off just having them painted on when I get the hood and spoiler I want
