Love the stripe! On that color car it works VERY well. I decided on my Cobalt blue that it doesn't work.

Okay, how hard to do?

Personally, love the stripe, especially on a silver car. To me, it's a very classic look and I love it.

So - how hard is it to do this? How steady of a hand and how easy is it to get straight? The one picture makes it look like a peel and stick decal, but assume there is more to it than that?

The videos make it it look real easy, and I consider myself pretty handy with this type of work, so I bought the stripes and managed to screw it up.
I've since bought another set and will have it professionally installed in the spring.

I did my own and spent about 30 min per side. It's tricky, but a laser level and some basic knowledge on application of vinyl will help. Lots of water helps.
