Default stripe installation question

Saturday my son and I installed the stripes on the Mustang and a question arose.
1. Is there a stripe for the spoiler, if so which one? The stripes that appear to be the correct are not the same width as the rest.

There are so many different stripe kits you would have to be more specific. Where did you buy the kit? I would ask them.

Maybe the different width has to do with the fact that the spoiler sits higher than the deck and having the same width stripe would actually make it look wider than the deck stripe. I assume the ones you refer to are slightly narrower? Just a thought.

I bought the 10" precut stripes from baltimorestreetmods. I noticed the stripes that I suspect go on the spoiler sort of have a contour on one of the edges. thanks, Dan

Sorry, I dont have an answer for your question. However, I have been thinking about getting stripes too. Did you wrap the bumpers? Was it hard? do you use any special tools?

The rear bumper was easy enough. The front bumper came with two sets. One with a license plate cutout and the other without. Some options I`m considering on my front bumper installation:
1. try and install the non license plate cutout and see if I can get it to lay down and adhere properly
2. install the cutout striep(except since I don`t have a front plate it would just look like a large hole).
3. trim the stripes and cover the top of the front bumper only.

IMHO try to go from the very nose to the very tip of the car... looks reall smart instead of cutting them short... try to get it to adhere in the lisence plate cutout on the front using a hairdryer, and if it goes rong u can fall back on using the precut ones... then just buy a cheap license plate holder from walmart to make it look right.
