Default Finally installed the flat black BB Stripes on the Black WS6

Well I've had these stripes sitting in my garage for a few months and figured it was about time I try to install them. I was hesitant, but then I figured its only $30, so if I mess up, just buy another set. There is some bubbles here and there but I'm hoping the heat takes it out? Also, the drivers side looks slightly lower then the passenger side, I think. Hard to tell, and its annoying the hell out of me LMAO. Either way, here's some pics.

I opted for the flat black with no lettering. I like subtle appearance mods.
Was difficult to get actual pics, because you can only see the stripes in certain sunlight/angles.


Let me know what you guys think.


Pic of passenger side, can you guys notice a difference.





Pic of drivers side:

Thanks guys! Do you notice the difference near the windshield. Does it look lower on the drivers side?

Did you put them on 'wet'?
If you would have, & used a squeegee, you wouldn't have the bubble issue.
The bubbles look pretty bad in that one photo.
And most likely the heat or sun won't do anything for ya.
You could try the old 'pin-poke' trick, or an Xacto knife, & try to get most of the air out from under there.

Got a tape measure? Simply check the location from the corner/edge of the hood.
More measuring & layout work with masking tape targets or something would be better help in placement, ..., next time.


The color sheme is good tho.

I appreciate the tips, I did use water and a squeegee (sp?). No bubbles were noticed before I took them off. I understand that measuring/an actual plan would have been better but I'm always pretty damn impatient though. There probably won't be a next time.
