Now that's the kind of instructions that should come with the BSM kits! You should email that to them so they include it with their kits. I'm sure alot of people attempting this mod will appreciate your write-up.
Your car looks great! I'd trim the rocker stripe so that it doesn't wrap into the fenderwell though. Just take a blade and cut it along that edge.

Hey pnut. Excellent write-up with very good detail that a lot of people would have left out. Besides the trimming you did around the 3rd brake light were there any other places you needed to trim or are all the pieces pre-cut to length as well as width. I have the same kit but I had a shop install them.
Where are you located in Michigan?

If your going to order pre-cut ... BSM is the way to go. High quality 3M vinyl and superb customer support

I will say however you get what you pay for. 3m is KNOWN to be the best vinyl for durability and workability when installing. Oracle may or may not be as good, I personally would not want to take the risk of the unknown for $70+, because this mod will be in your face and any errors will be very visible.
Also, I like the precut pieces. A kit that provides 20 feet of straight vinyl you cut to fit may be more difficult to use, especially for a beginner.

Excellent How To.....I wish the Superstripe would have been the type with backing paper, but it was not. I assume because of the width of the stripe. BSM kits are awesome for the do it your-selfer....
Nice job,

is this kit completely precut like I just match and slide on ? And what the hell is transfer tape ?
also is there a way to get it without the stupid front bumper license plate cut or should I cut it off myself ?
Lastly is your car a Cobra or a GT cause it looks like a GT but everything is cobra

Transfer tape is like a thin masking tape on top of the stripes. It is usually used with detailed stickers where they are impossible to apply without. Since so many body are used to the tape, you can get the stripe kits with the tape. I thought I wanted it to make it easier, but it was more of a pain.
The faux rear gas cap is Cobra (or Shelby). It is a GT. I received the emblem as a fathers day gift and like it much better than the chrome cap. I was planning a billet cap, but when the kids give you a gift, you accept it happily. I don't get the gruff I get over that snake emblem. I feel everyone should modify as they like. Does that mean someone who puts a GT500 front end on their GT is a poseur? I think not.
Hope that helps.
