I did it myself, and it was pretty easy. It took all day Friday including a couple of hours for prep (wash, clean w/ alcohol, and tape the center of the car). There are a few small flaws that can't be seen from a few feet away, and some small bubbles that the Florida sun will take care of.

The main pointer is to take your time. I didn't use heat on it either. The rear bumper was pretty challenging around the licence plate area. Anywhere they roll under (like the front and back of the hood, under the wing, etc..) you have to wait for them to dry, then peel off the paper, then very carefully roll the edge under. You have to be very careful with that since they are dry and you only get one shot. The main thing is take your time. And you need another person to help peel the backing off the big pieces (hood, trunk).

Nice work, I agree on the pointers. I would say have a buddy help you all the way, never hurts. Well done my friend.

I bought the 10" kit from www.baltimorestreetmods.com Rob provided excellent installation instructions that really helped it go smoothly.

Looks good yz! I can agree with you about the self install and having a few minor flaws as I had a few myself on my rockers.

You have more patience than I.
I think side stripes near the rockers would also look good.

My wife was asking me when I'm doing the rockers? I'm still not 100% sure that I'm going to. My priority is getting a chin spoiler ASAP, I already have the stripes for it.

Great job on the install! I am going to be getting a set of these soon and I am having a hard time deciding between the 10 or 12 inchers.

Also, while perusing Baltimore Street Mods website, I noticed these Rear Deck Delete's http://www.baltimorestreetmods.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=5. While they are just stickers, I think I like the look of them a heck of a lot more than the actual deletes that are over $100 unpainted. I might just get a matte black one when I order my stripes.

Rocker stripes would be overkill, I chose not to do them when I done my stripes.

+1, but in reverse for me. I was originaly wanting the racing stripes plus the rockers. Now that I have just the rockers, I believe the racing ones would be too much.
