Decided my black 2011 GT needed some racing stripes so i went with matte black 12" lemans.

Got some stuff prepped. 2" tape to make sure it goes on straight...ish....
polished up the hood as i figured i would only get that done yesterday..boy was i right.

The instructions arn't really helpful to much. I would def. use a hair dryer to stretch the stripes. but got it laid out, took 3 hours or so to just do the hood.

after some patience and letting it sit for a bit to tack up i started working the stripes. I wish i had pictures of the install but that would probably irritated me more.

only a couple small wrinkles that you would see up close but didn't turn out to bad for a self install...

i know this thread is worthless without pics but im gonna do that after its done.. soo be patient

 

Sounds good! Good luck!

 

Good luck, I want to wrap my roof on my car in black but I am afraid to do it myself I just might have a professional do the install and make my life easier.

 

well started back at it yesterday. Got it mostly complete all that i have to do is the bumper, i tried but i didn't have the patients for it. I might just leave it how it is, cause the curves on the bumper were proving to be difficult.

I sure am glad that American Muscle sends you a ton of extra vinyl, so i have 6ft extra to attempt to get the front bumper striped. It is very tedious work. If you plan on doing it ever, its gonna take a while probably 6-7 hours.

Some tips. When doing the hood and roof, use the water/soap mixture. USEEE very little soap. maybe 1 drop. But when doing the trunk and stuff, i didn't use the mixture, seemed to help and things went a little smoother...thats just me though. USE a hair dryer..helps for those difficult spots. Blast the vinyl for like 2-3 seconds, it becomes pliable very quickly. and lastly take the big round mustang emblem off the trunk lid before you do it... i didn't and it was a pain..

Also installed my black billet grille. That was pretty easy but the instructions seem like they were written by a child.

before..basically when i first go it.


after.. bad cell phone pic, doesn't do it justice.

 

They look pretty good, the front bumper part is one of the hardest IMO

 

Thanks, its not professional looking, a few creases here and there, some missed tree sap so it left some small bumps.. but over im pretty happy with it as i did it myself...if it was a pro job and looked like this i would be pissed. but im pretty satisfied with it.

 

As long as you are happy with it, that's what matters

 

 

Get that front bumper done and it'll be complete!

 

It just takes patience

 

ya i have like 6ft of left over, ill probably try to tackle it a few times to get it right.
