I just got mine today and tried to put the hood piece on, NOT SO GOOD. It seems like its not cut right. Wont stay even on the sides. The pinstripe is longer than the center vinyl piece on the hood scoop. Anyone else have problems with this.

Also how the hell do you not get a crease in the vinyl when pressing it onto the side of the hood scoop.

If anyone has better instructions than what they give you that would be great. I took the whole vinyl piece back off and stuck the backing back to it so i think it still salvage able.

Who would install a piece like this.

Thanks,
Matt

Im kinda disappointed in the quality.
