Take it to a pro Unless you are a painter? Find pics of exactly what you want and show them. I had my painter tape it all off, then i went to look at it before he shot it. Good thing, cuz he was going to paint the back side of the scoop..facing the windshield...no no i said. Also had the whole hood,spoiler and deck lid cleared so there wouldnt be an edge.

honestly if your determined to do yourself the best way would be to take your time.... get a picture of which style you want and then take as long as you need to taping....
