Default Issues with dealer added stripes

Hello folks, I just bought my Mustang two weeks ago and have been loving it. Last week my yellow stripes and tint came in, I opted for the Shelby-a-like look. I got it home and pulled out the camera and that is when the trouble started. I am new to late model cars and their accessories, but I wanted to get some options from some people on how this sounds for fit and finish on my new stripes.

Sitting behind the wheel I noticed that there is wrinkling on the stripes as they wrap around the back edge of the hood.
Looking down at the top of the roof one of the stripes was cut a bit jagged.
On the trunk and on the bumper they left an overlapping seam, about a 1/16th of an inch wide, where they joined different pieces of tape.

All I am really wondering here is whether I am being a total freak about my car or if I need to rail these guys.

Thanks,

Jon

I would take the car back to the dealer and ask them to fix it-- if they warrantied the work, they should fix it.

I did mine myself so that i know they were done right-- came out perfect for me... but I took an entire day to cut, measure all that jazz.

Thanks for the advice, I called the dealer and have a meeting arranged for this evening. There is no way I would attempt to do it myself, I would have made a complete mess of it. Either that or I would have to buy about four times the amount of tape and take a week off from work.
