Well I have to start with a big Thank You to Big Worm Graphix for the excellent customer service and a quality product! I ordered the dual wide stripe kit with pin stripe. They threw in the extra red pin stripe at my request for no additional charge. I just got around to tackling the install. There are a few minor blemishes, but fortunately nothing major. All were just from inexperience working with vinyl. I think it looks great with the Redline Recaro interior..... What do you guys think?

Looks good, Stone. Kudos for tackling a DYI project and doing a good job.

Nice! Looks fantastic. Love the red pinstripe and black stripes on the ingot car. Congrats on the self-install... did mine this past weekend... similar results... a few very minor blemishes, but probably only I will notice. Just take your time and don't rush it... and I found a hair dryer on low heat to be invaluable in helping form the stripes and work out any air bubbles/wrinkles.

Thanks for the compliments. My heat gun failed after finishing the hood so I had to resort to using a hair dryer as well. Worked like a charm!

Looks great! How hard was it to find the centerline and layout the stripes all the way back while keeping them lined up? Did you just work front to back? How was doing the roof? Sorry for all the questions but after seeing yours I'm now thinking of doing mine by myself.

The instructions provided by Big Worm were a big help. The pictures helped and I followed them step-by-step. Just make sure you measure and use masking tape to hold everything in place, take your time and triple check the alignment. I found that using plenty of water helped with positioning. The vinyl is pretty forgiving and most of the time heat can help, but be careful not to get it too hot.

Are you sure you didn't take it to a pro shop get it done, then claim the credit? If not, good job! It looks like a pro did it from the pictures.
