Nicely done. I'm sure your red pinstripes on your wheels will be duplicated soon

The red stripe on the wheel gives it a nostalgic look. Sort of like the old redline tires.

Maybe you could give old guy like me some pointers?

C'mon, they so easy to peel off. You just heat it up a bit with hair drier and you can get them off pretty easy.
Put them on or I'll charge you $100/month for keeping my stripes

Thanks y'all

So the technique of getting them to set right is to use plenty of soapy water i take it. Sounds pretty simple now. After seeing the 2 pics of them installed on those Vettes i am going to definitely put them on. It's either that or pay you $100.00 a month Mike.

***BTW, since you have had the stripes for a while, make sure to use the credit card to squeeze around the "twin turbo" lettering so when you peel the vinyl off the backing paper, the whole stripe goes together with the masking tape
