Stripe and Rear Emblem Question
#2
Did you do a search? There have been a couple threads that talked about this. I have to get off the computer now, or else I'd go through it with you or do a search. If you do a good search though, you'll find it.

I think adrenalin is just saying to have them cut around it... the vinyl will just go right up to the faux gas gap all the way around. I actually took mine off because I replaced it with the V6 faux gas cap that had the pony on it. I would have probably taken it off anyway because I am a perfectionist. But I also took out the middle break light and vinyl'ed up inside of it too. And I vinyl'ed inside the rear license plate area when most people just cut around it. It's up to you. If you have them cut around the gas gap, it'll look just fine. I mean, it's vinyl. It doesn't have to look perfect. You might be able to see the line of the vinyl going around the cap if you look hard enough, but who is gonna?
Edit: What I am trying to say is don't take the faux gas cap off if you don't need to. It's a pain to take off and put back on.

What I did was precut the hole on the plotter, that way it just fit perfectly. I didn't need to use a knife around this area. Now, if you don't have that as an option you just use the plastic squeegee and work around the badge and trim it with a knife. Enough vinyl tucks underneath it so you can't really tell. You can tell who did installs and was afraid of this area because the vinyl has a 1/4 " gap around the badge because they used 1/4" vinyl to mark the area and then cut of the excess material.
As for the license plate area in the back, I used a solid piece on each side and then used the xacto blade to trim of the excess material/

John, glad to hear you put vinyl there too.
I basically did the same thing as you... used a couple pieces to fill in the license plate area. After that area was blacked out, I put on my stripes, cut around the opening and wrapped everything down into the opening about 3/4" all the way around to overlap what I had just done. I used a blowdryer and stetched/shrunk a little bit. If you look real close you can see lines where the vinyl pieces were overlapped, but it looks better then just cutting around the opening, IMO.
