Well I got mine on -FINALLY !!!! 4 Hours.
Wow, you dont realise how many curves/angles
there are on our sharks (not many reference points).
I ended up using string lines from the hood vent
to the hood point and worked from there,
still took ALOT of adjusting to get 'em close
enough.
Sorry no pics of the process.
Frustration was setting in at about the
15 minute mark so the camera was the
last thing on my mind.
Once they "cure" & I've had a stiff drink or 2
I'll take some pics & post them for your amusement,
I'm laughing hysterically as I write)))))))))))))) !!!!!
CHEERS

How did you install yours? they look as smooth as mine, no bubbles. Did you use the wet method as recommended, or install them dry?
