Anybody here attempt to install vinyl stripes on their car before? I have done smaller stripes (spears) and other smaller vinyl but I want to try and do over the car stripes as I got a great deal on some vinyl stripes I was looking for. I feel pretty confident but was wondering if anybody has any tricks or ways of doing things that can help with the install. Manufacturer states this vinyl has breathable skin so bubbles will exit if squeegeed out. I was told lots of water as well. Either way I will try but hope you guys may share some guidance.

Have you looked for any YouTube vids. I have also done smaller things and wouldn't hesitate to do what your trying to do. It's doesn't appear to be that difficult, and if you fuck up, so be it as it doesn't sound like you paid much. I'm wondering if a heat gun might help shape it to the contours of the surface, similar to window tinting?

I have been reading/video watching, most are huge water users. If there is water, you can adjust/move the vinyl. The hood will be the test, I will do all others first to get my confidence up. I will start once I get this new engine broke in and there is nothing wrong with this one.

Well it all worked out as I installed the vinyl stripe kit. It may have taken a lot of time but my OCD probably made for a better install then what I would have paid for (#laserlineprojector). Happy I tried and succeeded. Now I can take the $$ I saved and buy beer. ��

Not the title

I know that and my payments know that.

Used Hellcat value = lower then low

2018 Hellcat = Raised the price.

Something doesn't add up, so I will have to deal with it. Shit happens but I still woke up this morning. I can't keep worrying about this situation as I will never enjoy it and I am supposed to enjoy it. Deep down I am not happy but I have a nice looking car with nice power numbers and a new engine.

[MENTION=10390]1EVILV[/MENTION] yes, true. However can you imagine sometime down the road when someone new buys this and takes it to a dealer and they only put 6 quarts in because a 2016 and then they check the dipstick. Lol
