Lower Fascia mod.
What's the best way to line up the masking tape?
I'm having a hard time with this. Patience I know lol but I can't seem to get the lines straight, especially where it curves on the sides.

Rear fascia or front? I've seen guys do both, so not sure which one you mean. I did the rear lower fascia about a month ago. I used 1/8" pinstripe tape to make the lines, then put blue painters tape on top of the pinstripe. Had to use short pieces of painters tape on the curves, longer pieces on the straights. Can't use just the painters tape by itself, can't make the tight bends/curves. First use the pinstripe tape to get your lines.

100%. The thin stuff is easy to curve.

If I was going to do that mod and really wanted it to look good, I'd have to hire a pro because I don't have the patience for that kind of stuff.
