Default Any recent vettestripes.com installations?

Just ordered a full body stripes kit and was wondering if there is anyone that has installed this or any kits from them recently. Mine will be metallic silver on LMB.

I did. They were garbage. Didn't even line up right and a few pieces were defected in the way they were cut.

I know this isn't what your asking about but I got these wheel stripes from vettestripes and I think they look pretty good.

Just installed mine a few months back and love how they turned out. It's the first time I installed anything this size but I did not have any issues lining them up. I did measure things out just to make sure before I installed.

If you're doing them yourself, a couple of tips. Make sure all the wax is off the area you are doing. Use a lint roller on the car just before you go to apply the strip. If you do see any kind of debris under the strip after using the squeegee, pull it up and use a ton of the soap/water mixture to get the dust off the stripe.

There will be a few bubbles that might present themselves when you get in in the sun but a small pinprick and all is good.
