Hood Stripes?

did you use a credit card or something along those lines to smooth out the vinly when you applied them? the air bubbles will disspate however, it will take a long time. i know from seeing them on my own.

Used a squeege... bubbles are dissapating slowly but surely.
 
If they still won't go away, I read somewhere that if you take a sewing pin with a very fine point, you can just pop the bubbles and they will settle. I'd use it as a last resort tho.

Use an xacto #11 blade. Easy. I use 'em on building models all the time. Won't mar the paint if you don't go too deep.

You have to be careful if you try to pop them with a needle or xacto blade because vinyl expands and contracts with temperature change. Pop them now and in a month that pin size hole could be very noticeable. It won't take that long for the air to evaporate, vinyl is porous to air escaping with heat.
 
I've been wanting to get a set of these for my Metro Grey MS3, but can't picture which color stripe would look best. Red may be a bit bold for my personality, even if I tie it in by painting the calipers red (and then, how close of a match will I get, y'know?) Black may be the opposite-too understated on Metro Grey- not enough contrast.

Anyone got pics of these stripes on a Metro Grey?

Does anyone know where to get the template for these stripes? I want to make some for my speed if possible.. otherwise I will just buy some.

Thanks
