Question on CE stripe installation
I am taping off my Z06 for the arrival of my stripes. Can someone give me some pointers on how to do the top stripes. I think I understand the hood and deck lid but need some reassurance on how to do the top to make sure all line up.
thanks

Only thing I would imagine is that you measure correctly and center the stripes on the top. Should be easy.
Place centering marks on the front and rear glass and tape down the centerline of the roof.

I found the center of the top by using a cloth tape measurer on the front and back of the top. I then made a tiny black dot on the center mark. I cut a piece if masking tape exactly 3" long and marked the 1.5" center of the 3" piece of masking tape.
Then I placed the 1.5" mark on the tape on the tiny dot on the top in the front and the back. I now had my center reference locations. When I put the large stripe on the top I placed it 1/8" to the right and left of the 3" centered masking tape. The stripes came our perfect. Remember the spacing between the stripes on the top is 3 1/4", thus the 1/8" on either side.
