Need help with "hash marks" placement...
Hi, I have Mid America's C5 hash marks. Just where "fore / aft" do they get placed? Can't tell from other guy's pix. Seems like just 2 
1/8" from front edge of hash to back edge of headlight. Looks OK, but want to be sure I'm not F@#$%^ this up. Still will have to trim a bit off the bottom, etc. How well does this stuff "wrap" around the bottom edge?? Thanks!

First off, those stripes seem like they are extremely wide, but maybe that is just an illusion.
When I had the hashmarks on my '00, the upper front edge of the first stripe was 6" from the top point of the fender to the edge of the stripe. The stripes were spaced about 1 1/4" apart and set on about a 45* angle.
Here's a pic of how it looked:
I had the installer wrap the vinyl under the weatherstripping on the upper fender and then under the fender well opening. You will need to really clean the fender well opening in order for the vinyl to stick well, but it can be done and I never had a problem with the stripes coming loose.
Hope this helps.
