Default New Hockey Stripes

Well I put on the hockey stripes today. I realize now that I put them on too close to the fenderwell, however, they look really weird and the curve is different if you put them farther forward. Anyway here are a few pics, let me know what you think.

They're not supposed to go down underneath the front bumper on the sides.

Anyone think I should pull them off and get another set and place them correctly or would you leave it alone since they're aren't any bad creases on them?

maybe its just the pics...but especially in that first one, it looks like your wheels stick out quite a bit. Regardless, it looks nice and I love the hood!

I think an emblem of the the "346" would look better than the decals, but overall they look good!

After thinking about it a bit more, I think I've decided to redo them and place them correctly a few more inches forward of where I have them now.

How do you apply them? I mean I know its sticky on the back but do you use water to get it in the right spot the press the water out or just stick it right on dry and hope for the best?

They look good Brian, but I would agree on moving them forward a bit. Also what do you think about the longer "Sprewell style" stripes?



I think i'm getting read to throw the GS Stripes on mine. I still haven't decided if they will look good, but we'll see. I know they did on my old car, but it didn't have a tan top.

I don't like the Spreewell style at all. I am not a fan of taking them all the way to the rear of the vehicle.
