RE: bumper to bumper racing stripes
Thanks. IMHO its the best 20 bucks I have spent on the car. The secret to applying it is this....Get a spray bottle, make some soapy water (but not too soapy cause itll be too slippery, and spray it all over the work area (the car and the back of the stripe) position the stripe where you want it, and use a straight, hard piece of plastic to sqeeze out all the soapy water beneath it. It is really just like tinting windows on a car. Just take your time and you will be happy with the results.

RE: bumper to bumper racing stripes
This might be a bit off topic, but my stripe is beginning to collect old wax residue around it because it sticks up a bit higher than the rest of the car. What would be the best way to remove this build-up?
Thanks

Its about 5 inches wide.
On another note, I still dont know about your stripe. I kinda like it, but then it kinda looks like it cuts the car in half straight down the middle. But if you like it....
