Leave them off, it looks a lot cleaner without.

The guy stating that people are acting like this is a honda board...Who are you to judge anyone else?
He asked what people though about placement...that is what I feel about them. I have not liked them on F-body's since day one...or any other car for that matter with the exception of a 96 GS...which we formerly owned and that is prolly why I dont like the idea of them on anything else. Opinions are like ********...we all have one and most of them stink.

i own a graphics shop, i can check if we have any black in our inventory and i can sell you a set for way cheaper than these places. Its only two strips of vinyl each one is 2 inches wide with a one inch gap. When you lay them down spray a generous coat of diluted dish wash soap in water( 1tsp-1gallon water). You can slide them all over until you got em where you want them. then you squeegee them and let them dry. No need for templates or markers or anything else you cant possible mess them up. ill check my inventory later and om you

Too bad he didn't ask for anyone's opinion...he just wanted to know where they went on the car and how

Some of the site sponsors carry them, including brent franker. Since your car is not a Grand Sport 'vette, there really aren't any rules as to which fender you put them on...I have them on both cuz assymetry bothers me
