Another Stripes Question

So I just put my 10" black stripes on my car. It's been "baking" in the sun and will continue to for the rest of the day. I'm looking at the forecast and it's calling for rain on Monday. My questions are: Will the rain ruin the stripes? Is a 24 hour period long enough for the stripes to adhere for good or is 48 hours better? I'm looking to travel back home Sunday from weekend vacation but if 24 hours isn't long enough then I have to deal with the rain on Monday to head back. Quite a delema.

Added note: keep in mind I'm going to be doing 75 mph, maybe 80, maybe 85....down the interstate...lol

I did notice you're selling a lot of parts on this forum and others. What's the deal?

I think your stripes will be just fine. But we do need pictures.
