ADRENLN said:i agree, use the method that guys that apply vinyl. they just try to work out any small air bubbles as you apply it. work them toward the edges of the stripes. try to be careful not to scratch them as you apply.
ps did you get the grey or black? do they have a glossy or flat finish?
i was thinking of these, but dont know how they would look with my body kit.
still debating

You'd just install the stripes dry? Or would you soak down the area with a water bottle w/ a couple drops of soap added?

Also, clean the area with rubbing alcohol and maybe even acrysol before soaking it with soapy water and applying the graphic. Good luck

i have a steeda sidewinder stripe at home i know what u mean. basically what i think you should do is tape it to the car exactly how you want it. put pieces of tape above and below and all around and draw three hashes across the tape and onto the back of the sticker to use as references. then soak the side of the car and slide the sticker into place ontop of the soapy slippery liquid and let it sit in the sun for awhile.GT98 said:Thanks for the link...but that decal is on transfer tape. My stripes arent set up like that. But man would it make things a whole lot easier lol
