After a tough weekend of monkeying with things I shouldn't have, I have finally successfully pulled something off. This send a nice big "f u" to the shop ******* who wanted $150 to do this. I can do it myself dude. Just because I'm female does not mean I have a target on my pocketbook.

My stripe kit stopped at the end of my bumper- looked really unfinished. So I got some vinyl and finished it up. It was a little scary, a little tough - but I'm super happy with my results.

Thanks I really wanted to get this done- especially since the moron who put my front license plate on did it way lopsided... I filled the holes in and covered them with the vinyl.

It's weird stuff to work with for sure.

$150 is way too much for that, the body shop I went to charged me just $50 to install my rocker stripes and when I bought my Shelby stripes , I went back to them. They charged me $250 for that, its been over 4 years and they look better than any factory install.

These shops are a big rip off. I was quoted something similar for installing 3m DiNoc vinyl on my roof. All they had to do is lay it down bubble free and trim. 30 min. tops!
