No the stirpes are straight. You just want to cut them flush where the hood and fender meet. Also start them about 1/4in above the wheel well. Here's a pic of mine. Afterthoughts Auto----------------------------->

not the biggest fan of the blue.. but I am really happy you like it.. thats ALL that matters.. P.S. Next time (just instructive criticism) I would put the stripes in the middle.

It would help alot.

Anyways.. nice car.. best wishes.

oh no doubt they came out great especially for cutting them yourself bro. Dont take it as a knock.. just some friendly advice for next time.

I threw mine on in a about 30 minutes. Free handed it but when I seen how many people got them after me.. I took them off and went with the manta stripe.. not a million people have that too. so I am stuck looking for a new stripe idea without being ricer..lol

best wishes again bro.
